The event launches a new global campaign to unify the Jewish people. It will feature a special address by Israeli President Reuven Rivlin, inspiring performances by international artists Idan Raichel and Jess Glynne, and actress Shira Haas as the Master of Ceremonies.
Illuminate is powered by Our Common Destiny, a collaborative effort founded by Genesis Philanthropy Group and Israel’s Ministry of Diaspora Affairs, under the auspices of the Office of the President of Israel. Over the last 15 months, the joint initiative has crowdsourced the declaration, which aims to unite global Jewry through a shared vision for their future.
In the spirit of the “Festival of Lights,” Illuminate shines a light on the power of Jewish unity. The event demonstrates that the Jewish world is brighter when bringing the international Jewish community together.
