ENGAGING OUR LEADERS AND FUTURE LEADERS

In 2023, Momentum brought together its global community in meaningful ways to connect to Jewish values, engage with Israel, take action, and foster unity without uniformity.

Israel @75

A Once-In-A-Lifetime Celebration

In April, Momentum leaders and supporters joined Jewish mothers and organizations from around the world to mark Israel’s 75th year of statehood and independence. This delegation joined the Momentum journey and began the trip experiencing the sorrow of Yom Hazikaron (Israel’s Memorial Day), and the joy of the Yom Ha’atzmaut (Israel’s Independence Day) during the opening night celebration. The immersive experience highlighted Jewish education, spirituality, and our deep connection and responsibility to Israel and its people. The group participated in special events with government officials, dignitaries, and members of Momentum’s Public Council in Israel. To bring Israel’s milestone anniversary to life for our Momentum community outside of Israel and around the globe, Momentum highlighted 8 influential women who played pivotal roles in Israel’s journey across social and digital media.

In July, The Big Table, in partnership with Momentum, the Paul E. Singer Foundation, and the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, hosted an evening celebrating Jewish food, family, and values. The dinner took place at the home of Karen Davidson and featured a curated menu by Israeli-American celebrity chef, Eyal Shani.

The program included a panel discussion moderated by Becca Litt of the Skimm, and included Chef Jake Cohen, Momentum Director of Engagement and Experience Adrienne Gold Davis, and Winnie Sandler Grinspoon.
