Summer Speaker - “Together We Will Win” (ביחד ננצח): My Wartime Trip to Israel with Jim Ackerman
Saturday, June 22, 2024 • 16 Sivan 5784
10:45 AM - 11:15 AM
This Israeli slogan, which was adopted in the days following October 7th includes all of us, even in the diaspora. In February, my wife and I traveled to Israel to bear witness and show support. Our Jewish history and identity drive our Zionism. We are one nation, עם אחד (am echad).
Jim Ackerman is president of Ackerman Asset Management, an SEC-registered investment advisory firm, founded in 2005. In addition to managing a core investment strategy for clients, he also offers a globally diversified portfolio related to Israel and its key economic trade partners. He is a past chair of both the B’nai Israel Congregation and JFGH Investment Committees and currently is a member of the Jewish Federation Endowment Committee.
During the summer months, we invite members of our community to speak on Shabbat mornings and address the congregation about the interesting ways that they connect special experiences to their Jewish identities. All presentations take place during Shabbat services, at approximately 10:45 AM.
