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.
