Israel@60

The Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County is delighted to announce that GAMA Travel has stepped forward to help turn the spring issue of Federation’s Chai Life newspaper into an “Israel @ 60” commemorative journal.

“By becoming the exclusive ‘Tribute Sponsor’ of this very special edition, GAMA has enabled us to educate and excite the community with a wonderful way to observe Israel’s milestone 60th anniversary of statehood,” said William S. Bernstein, Federation President and CEO. “We are increasing our distribution to 60,000 from 10,000 copies for this keepsake, and mailing them directly to 50,000 local residences.”

This special Chai Life edition will include a decade-by-decade Israel history, beautiful full-color photos, features on Federation’s longstanding partnership with Israel, Wall Wishes tributes from community members, and more.

GAMA has added this support to its already generous sponsorship of the Federation’s publications and annual meeting. This unprecedented relationship has emerged from the firm’s and the Federation’s shared commitments to Israel and the Jewish community.

“Especially as an Israeli, at this time in the world I know that nothing is more important than the work of the Federation in supporting and securing Israel and the Jewish community,” said Yael Kagan, founder and president of the company’s GAMA Tours division. Dov Kagan, Yael’s husband, operates the worldwide GAMA Corporate division.

Yael continued, “We also share with the Federation the deep understanding of the transforming power of visiting and identifying with Israel. The great daily joy in my work is to see people of all ages become passionate about what they come to realize is their homeland.”
