The theme of the evening was Tel-Aviv and Meir Panim was one of the few non-profit organizations invited to participate in the event by setting up a booth and helping to raise awareness about the organization. U.S. Board Member David Birnbaum and New York Project Director Renatt Brodsky along with helpful volunteers such as Stephanie Lichten and Sharon Bridbord spent a few hours schmoozing with new faces, collecting email addresses and giving away pushka boxes, key chains and blue Meir Panim rubber bracelets that say “iFeed Israel.” By the end of the evening, many attendees were wearing the blue Meir Panim bracelet and were interested in volunteering at a free restaurant on their next trip to Israel.

Thank you to the entire MJE staff for including Meir Panim in this very special evening!
