Guests also enjoyed a keynote speech from Rabbi Shmuley and opening remarks by Professor Rafi Beya, CEO and Director General of Rambam Medical Center.
Elie Wiesel is a global hero, one of the most respected human beings alive and a global inspiration to people everywhere for the triumph of the human spirit over adversity. Miriam and Sheldon Adelson, who celebrates his 80th birthday this year, have done more to promote Jewish identity and pride – through Birthright Israel, Yad Vashem, the Adelson Educational Campus, and countless other Jewish and medical charities – than any other philanthropists alive. The Adelsons are also among the world’s leading funders of medical research, with a special focus on addiction and rehabilitation. Dr. Mehmet Oz is not only the world’s most famous doctor, but someone who has brought about a global revolution in healthy and positive living. No other media personality has done more to foster the health of Americans and citizens of the world.
