As one of the nation’s most popular “positively Israel” keynote speakers, Tishby will headline Jewish National Fund-USA’s 11th Annual Love of Israel Brunch on Sunday, August 28, 2022, at 10:30 am PT/ 1:30 pm ET, where she will address topics including Israel advocacy; connecting the next generation to the land of Israel; her book, Israel, A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth; and her career in the entertainment industry. Due to high demand after the in-person event at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines in San Diego sold-out with nearly 500 people registered, the event will now be broadcasted virtually to a national audience.

The festive program celebrating the land and people of Israel will also highlight Jewish National Fund-USA’s visionary work in Israel’s Negev and Galilee regions and will feature remarks by Jewish National Fund-USA’s President, Dr. Sol Lizerbram, among other JNF-USA leaders, who will discuss the organization’s philanthropic projects impacting the global Jewish community.

For 125 years, Jewish National Fund-USA has helped strengthen the land and people of Israel by investing in the communities, infrastructure, and leadership that shape the country’s future. Our work is focused on making Israel’s North and South places where families can build full, vibrant lives with access to medical care, emergency response, water solutions, parks, playgrounds, jobs, and economic opportunity. Working with our donors and partners, we support underpopulated communities, help attract new residents, improve quality of life, and create the conditions for long-term growth. Our work reaches beyond projects on the ground. Through education, travel, and leadership opportunities, we connect Americans of all ages to Israel in meaningful and lasting ways. That vision continues with the World Zionist Village in Be’er Sheva, a global center that will bring people together to live, learn, lead, and strengthen the next generation of Zionist leadership.
