“This was the first event in the renovated Israeli Residence. I was thrilled, and honoured, to welcome everyone to the Israel Bonds New Leadership Tasting & Networking event. I hope you enjoyed some of the insights into the background story of the ties between Israel & the United Arab Emirates. There was a fantastic energy in the room with friends and family.”

“New Leadership MTL's first in-person event post-Covid was a great success. Over fifty young professionals gathered to taste wines and learn about the burgeoning Israeli wine industry from local sommelier Rabbi Yisroel Bernath. The event took place at the residence of Paul Hirschson, Consul General of Israel to Montreal. Paul's discussion of his experiences as an Israeli diplomat in Africa & the UAE captivated the crowd. We thank everyone that participated in this event and look forward to the next one."

“Over 50 New Leadership young professionals, came together for a networking & tasting event, where they were able to sample some of the best Israeli wines presented by wine enthusiast & Sommelier, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath. The evening was highlighted with an insight on the start of relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, from Consul General Paul Hirschson, who was one of the first two Israeli diplomats that went to the UAE and lived there for three years. Thank you to our Co-Chairs, Matthew Azrieli, Daniel Gal, Izzie Steckler for all your hard work and efforts to ensure the evening was a success!”

“I was honoured to be part of the Israel Bonds New Leadership Tasting & Networking event as I grew up with Israel Bonds. I received my first Israel Bond, while living in Illinois and shoveling snow for a neighbor. They thanked me by purchasing an Israel Bond. Israeli wines have come along way since 1948 when Israel planted their first vineyard. In 1949 – there were 14 vineyards and in 2022 – there are 276 vineyards. Today, we can be very proud of Israel and her incredible history with wine. This event was a beautiful marriage of Israel, Israel Bonds and Israeli wines. “

“Israel bonds is meaningful to me because it allows me to deepen my connection with Israel. I am happy to be involved in the Leadership committee and excited to get my peers more involved.”
