Get to know Birthright Israel Foundation's incoming Chair, Phil de Toledo, and learn why Birthright Israel is one of his top philanthropic priorities!
In January, Phil will begin his first term as Chair of Birthright Israel Foundation's National Board. Currently, Phil serves as Treasurer, Chair of the Finance Committee and a member of the Executive Committee and is involved in Los Angeles as a member of the Advisory Cabinet. We are grateful to Phil's service which plays a significant role in making Birthright Israel trips possible for young adults throughout the US. “The experience can be very transformational for young Jews. You can hear and see how important Birthright Israel is to the next generation. Judaism and Israel mean a lot to my family. We focus our philanthropy almost exclusively on Jewish causes. I believe that by supporting Birthright Israel we can preserve Jewish continuity. We’ll save a percentage from complete assimilation, and that’s a good investment from my perspective.”
