NEVER AGAIN IS NOW Benefit

Sponsored By

September 25 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Philanthropists and community leaders Marilyn Simon Weinberg & Jay Weinberg have partnered with American Friends of Tel Aviv University to host a benefit in support of Tel Aviv University’s law clinics that provide pro-bono legal services to Holocaust survivors and, most recently, Israeli citizens affected by the October 7th attack on Israel.
The NEVER AGAIN IS NOW benefit will take place on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, in Boca Raton and will feature a screening of an interview a of Holocaust survivor from the documentary series The Last Ones telling their stories. A panel discussion with Anita Karl, a Holocaust survivor; Professor Yishai Blank, Dean of Tel Aviv University\’s law school; and Nava Dushi, Ph.D., professor of Film and Media Studies, Lynn University\’s College of Communication and Design, and TAU alumnus; will follow the screening.
\”I have made it my life\’s work to support education and to share stories of Jewish struggles so that we never forget,” said Marilyn Simon. “The opportunity to bring together a survivor of the Holocaust with a new generation that is experiencing unprecedented antisemitism is something that Jay and I feel passionate about. We are proud to partner with Tel Aviv University to raise awareness and funds for the University\’s law clinics that provide services to both of these populations.\”
Tel Aviv University\’s law clinics provide practical legal education and pro bono services to several groups, including Holocaust survivors promoting human rights and social change. Following the October 7 attacks, the law clinics established \”The Network,\” which aids victims in the south who were most affected by the attacks and ensuing war. Attorneys work with students to provide legal services for families who face issues such as ongoing damage to their homes and businesses and securing government benefits.
Marilyn and Jay Weinberg are philanthropists and community leaders who have generously supported many programs in education including Holocaust and human rights education, scholarships, and Jewish Studies.
Event sponsors include The Boca Raton Observer. For sponsorship information, please contact Allyson Harman at aharman@aftau.org.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
