The young professionals between the ages of 22-40 who share a deep bond with the Jewish homeland, enjoyed an open bar, delicious hors d’oeuvres followed by a catered meal, desserts, and an excellent program that highlighted JNF-USA’s work in Israel.
The program featured several important speakers, including JNFuture Mountain States Board President Cheris Kline-Berlinberg, Alexander Muss High School in Israel President and National Board Member Ron Werner, JNF-USA Campaign Executive, Mountain States, Abigail Mendel, and Event Co-chairs Esti Marcus and Ryan Cohn.
“It’s really awesome to be a part of a growing Jewish young professional community in Denver,” said Marcus. “Wine and Trees was a blast, and it was wonderful to finally be able to come together in person to support the land and people of Israel and JNF-USA.”
