An Evening of Story and Commitment in the Hamptons

On Friday, July 31, Birthright Israel Foundation brought together over 200 friends and supporters in the Hamptons for an unforgettable evening of community, conversation, and commitment to the next generation.

Event Hosts Susanna Lachs Adler & Dean Adler set the tone for the evening, joined by Birthright Israel Foundation President & CEO Elias Saratovsky and Birthright Israel Co-Founder Charles Bronfman for a night centered on Israel's resilience and the enduring importance of Jewish memory and identity. 

Elias Saratovsky offered a powerful reflection on what it means to invest in the Jewish future, reminding guests that "by investing in this cause, you're investing in the people who will sustain Jewish life for generations to come."

The evening's most moving moment came when Birthright Israel alumni Michelle Rojas-Tal, Ari'el Stachel, Alix Ablaza, Sam Heller, and Leo Caplan shared their own journeys, a reminder that every life changed on a Birthright Israel trip begins with someone in that room choosing to say yes.
