It was truly a celebration of community and commitment at Jewish Federation Los Angeles’ recent 2017 Major Gifts Evening, held at Stephen Wise Temple on March 8th.
More than 200 guests joined us to hear from noted political analyst and journalist David Gregory, who flew in from Washington, D.C. to share with us his Jewish journey. He spoke about his recent book How’s Your Faith? based on a conversation he had years ago while in the White House covering President George W. Bush. Gregory’s presentation was moving and emotional, particularly when he shared that he had become a bar mitzvah in the sanctuary next door to the very ballroom in which we all sat!
Throughout the evening, guests heard important updates about the state of the Jewish community here in Los Angeles and around the world, and they were thanked for their generous continued support of the Federation and our many partners.
