From the Dear Friends, I am pleased to present you with the Jerusalem Foundation’s 2016 Annual Report, a year in which we President celebrated our 50th anniversary, five decades of investment in Jerusalem, creating a flourishing city that is a source of inspiration for its people and the world.
Our 50th anniversary campaign kicked off in October 2015 with events all over the globe hosted by our Jerusalem Foundation family worldwide. Your Share in Jerusalem became the tagline for events in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Germany, Canada, Italy and the United States that marked our jubilee, celebrated our accomplishments and inspired new friends to have a share in Jerusalem’s future.
More than 250 of our longstanding friends and supporters gathered in Jerusalem on September 20, 2016, fifty years to the day that the legendary Mayor Teddy Kollek established the Foundation. Fifty of our founding families were honored at unforgettable events, many attended with their next generation and we were graced with new and young faces who joined the Jerusalem Foundation family. My deepest gratitude goes to the 50th Anniversary Co-Chairs, Lester Crown and Julia Koschitzky, and the international steering committee, Sallai Meridor, Alan Hassenfeld, Howard Leigh, Ruth Diskin, Stuart Hershkowitz and Harry Sapir.
A jubilee is a rare event and it does not merely mark the passage of time. It is an exceptional occasion, one that must be earned, and is only possible thanks to forty-nine years of hard work, dedication and commitment that preceded it. Our achievements are a testament to you and to all whose efforts have been integral to our forty-nine year journey.
As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem, let us not lose sight that from this day forward, our clock is reset and the count begins again towards the next fifty years.
The next forty-nine years will be no less demanding and no less challenging than the last, yet they will be just as rewarding, just as gratifying and ultimately just as successful. The next jubilee rests on what we build today.
