Jewish National FundUSA and Jewish Federation of Greater Naples are proud to partner in bringing an unforgettable evening of music, inspiration, and unity to local community members on Tuesday, Oct. 28 at 7 p.m., when Israel's Special in Uniform Band will perform live in Naples. The performance will offer audience members a chance to witness the extraordinary talent and spirit of this one-of-a-kind ensemble that shows the world there are no limits.
As part of its focus on improving the quality of life in Israel, Jewish National Fund-USA is dedicated to ensuring that everyone fulfills their potential and is accepted into Israeli society, regardless of their abilities. One key way of achieving this goal is by integrating youths with disabilities into the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) through Special in Uniform.
In addition to this inspiring performance, the event will honor philanthropist Sue Bookbinder and her husband Art (z”l), for their family’s extraordinary contribution to inclusion and the incredible impact The Bookbinder Family Foundation Training Center for Disability Employment and Inclusion at Palmachim Air Force Base in Israel has had on Special in Uniform members and other IDF soldiers. The center is thoughtfully designed to create job training and employment opportunities for soldiers with disabilities and special needs, educate Israeli and international visitors on disabilities and inclusion, and create a friendly, collaborative environment for disabled and nondisabled soldiers alike through the Special in Uniform Café.
