Israel Envoy for Combatting Antisemitism to Speak in Boca

The Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County’s Dorothy P. Seaman Department of Women’s Philanthropy will host the 2023 Lion of Judah Luncheon at 10 a.m. on Feb. 1 at the Polo Club of Boca Raton. The event will be headlined by international producer, actress and pro-Israel activist Noa Tishby (pictured). Tishby, author of Israel, A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth, is part of Israel’s first Special Envoy for Combatting Antisemitism and Delegitimization. She recently appeared in the Showtime drama, The Affair and recently completed shooting the third season of her talk show, Life By Noa Tishby.

In addition to her entertainment career, Tishby founded the first Israel-focused online advocacy and rapid response organization, Act For Israel. In 2014, she helped form a partnership between The Schusterman Foundation and Summit Series. She also co-created Reality Israel, a series of leadership trips to Israel for Jews and non-Jews, which has welcomed thousands of professionals in technology, music, food, sports, and the arts and sciences to Israel. She was also recognized as one of the 50 Most Powerful Jews in the World and was on Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Power list of international executives.

“Noa’s work of raising awareness of the significance of Israel and the disturbing rise in antisemitism make her an amazing choice for our signature event,” Shirley Weisman says, the Event Chair for South Palm Beach County’s Lion of Judah event.

A minimum individual woman’s gift of $5,000 to the 2023 UJA/Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County Annual Campaign is required to attend, along with a couvert of $125.

To join South Palm Beach County’s Lions of Judah, contact Kathleen Ben-Shoaff at 561-852-5031 or Kathleenb@bocafed.org.

Editor-in-Chief

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.
