Speaking about his new role, Angel said, “I'm thrilled to join Jewish National Fund-USA and contribute to an organization so deeply connected to the land and people of Israel. Following the tragic events of October 7, it feels more crucial than ever to support communities in Israel, helping them recover, rebuild, and strengthen their resilience. I’m excited to play a part in supporting communities directly affected by recent challenges, ensuring that Israel remains strong and vibrant for generations to come. Working with young professionals is especially important, as they represent the future we count on to lead, innovate, and carry forward the vision of Jewish National Fund-USA for a vibrant and strong Israel. At JNFuture, we not only support Israel today but ensure that its legacy endures.
