Jewish National Fund-USA, the nation’s largest annual gathering of Zionists, will be held this year in San Diego from November 12-15. This comes as the organization is commemorating 125 years.
“This anniversary isn’t just about celebrating our history,” said Jewish National Fund-USA Chairman Dr. Sol Lizerbram. “It’s about learning from it to better serve the changing needs of Israel’s border communities in the years ahead.”
Nearly 3,000 attendees will gather at the four-day event, which is going to feature speakers like co-creator and star of “Fauda,” Lior Raz; Middle East expert and former Member of Knesset Ruth Wasserman Lande; award-winning author and Tell Institute Founder Dara Horn; Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author Ronen Bergman; Middle East expert and former Member of Knesset Ruth Wasserman Lande and Former Miss Israel and IDF combat medic Noa Cochva.
“Attendees will hear firsthand stories from Israelis whose lives have been positively impacted by our work, helping them truly understand our mission and how their own time, leadership, and generosity can make a real difference,” said Lizerbram. “That sense of connection and purpose is what has helped this conference grow so much over the years.”

The Global Conference for Israel will both celebrate the organization’s 125-year milestone and highlight discussions regarding what lies ahead for it, as well as for Israel’s future. There will be opportunities to network, enjoy live entertainment, and explore and shop for Israeli goods at the World’s Largest Zionist EXPO.
Additionally, several Jewish National Fund-USA leaders based in Los Angeles are involved, including National Chair Larry Russ, Rabbi Pini Dunner of YINBH in Beverly Hills, Senior Rabbi at Wilshire Boulevard Temple Rabbi Joel Nickerson, and Senior Rabbi of Sinai Temple Rabbi Erez Sherman.
“There are very few places where you’ll find bestselling authors, military leaders, journalists, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and Israelis whose personal stories bring this work to life sharing the same stage,” said Jewish National Fund-USA Global Conference for Israel National Chair Sheryl Buchholtz. “Bringing those diverse perspectives together gives attendees a more complete understanding of Israel and the role they can play in shaping its future.”
Full conference tickets are available for $800, while professionals of the Jewish communal space can purchase tickets for $550. Individuals between the ages of 22-40, part of the JNFuture cohort, can buy tickets for $250.
