ALBANY— The Jewish National Fund-USA is hosting its annual Breakfast for Israel in the Capital Region, this Veteran’s Day, Tuesday, November 11, at 8 a.m., Organizers anticipate that 200 community members will unite in support of the people of Israel and pay tribute to those who have served their countries, both in the United States and in Israel, while learning how the JNF organization has been aiding Israelis in both the north and south before and after October 7.
Keynote speaker is Alon Wald, head of marketing and operations at Ammunition Hill National Heritage Center. A former elite Israel Defense Forces (IDF) officer, Wald will share his personal connections to Ammunition Hill, the site of the Six-Day War battle that led to the reunification of Jerusalem, and also where Wald’s father, Captain Rami Wald was killed in action.
“Against all odds, outnumbered, with no artillery support, no intelligence, no aerial support, they came out victorious,” said Wald in a recent interview. “We’re preserving their legacy and the core values we share —bravery, leadership, and courage.”
Ammunition Hill has evolved into an landmark that presents the legacy of the liberation of Jerusalem and is regarded by many as a must-see destination in Israel. The site now features a Wall of Honor, with plaques that serve as tributes to the heroism and courage of Jewish soldiers who, throughout history, have fought in defense of the countries in which they lived.

Local lay leaders will highlight how Jewish National Fund-USA has been providing immediate and long-term support to Israel. From helping farmers pick crops and supporting critical mental health services to deploying hundreds of bomb shelters and funding Israel’s firefighters, those attending will hear how the organization is creating circles of impact all designed to attract 800,000 new residents to the country’s frontier regions.
“Jewish National Fund-USA’s initiatives are vast and varied, but our vision is laser-focused on improving the quality of life for Israelis living in the frontier regions,” said Co-chairperson Dee Levy. “As we celebrate the return of our living hostages, we are creating communities that are safe, sustainable, and full of opportunity for generations to come.”
Other co-chairpersons are Jim Corwin, Lauren Iselin, Rena Kieval, Karen Lobel, and Keith Roland.
The program, open to the community, is free, but organizers suggest a minimum donation of $360 to attend. Registration and information may be obtained at [jnf.org/bficapitalregion](http://jnf.org/bficapitalregion) or by contacting Karen Rabinovici, at
