Jewish National Fund- USA (JNF-USA) is thrilled to announce the organization’s signature annual event, Breakfast for Israel, will make its debut in Naples on March 2, 2022 at 7:30 a.m. (ET).

The in-person event at Artis—Naples will feature Liel Leibovitz, Tablet Magazine’s editor-at-large and co-host of “Unorthodox,” the world’s leading Jewish podcast that offers listeners a fresh and fun take on Jewish news, ideas and culture. Leibovitz’s inspiring keynote speech will address the rise of antisemitism, portray a hopeful picture of a community that is engaged with Judaism more robustly than before, and offer a host of practical ways to forge a meaningful and nurturing Jewish identity.

The Tel Aviv native has authored and coauthored several books, including the witty, highly entertaining, comprehensive reference guide, “The Newish Jewish Encyclopedia: From Abraham to Zabar’s and Everything in Between.” Leibovitz also frequently pens articles on politics, culture and religion, and his work has been published in a variety of highly acclaimed publications, including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Atlantic and others.

“For nearly two decades, JNF-USA has dazzled thousands of attendees at its complimentary Breakfast for Israel gatherings across the country with highcaliber speakers headlining the events, as well as entertaining, impactful programming that captivates the audience while reminding community members why it’s crucial to continue to support the land and people of Israel,” said David Braverman, Co-President, JNF-USA Naples Board of Directors. “We couldn’t be more excited to host this elegant event for the first time ever in Naples and look forward to seeing the bright smiles of our friends and neighbors as we celebrate Israel together in person.”

The event is open to all community members at no cost and will be JNF- USA’s largest event in Naples this year.
