The IOC provides opportunities for our community to experience Israel and Jewish life around the world through a variety of events, lectures, cultural programs, and missions.
The Israel Advocacy Committee (IAC), which was the name prior to this new iteration, served the Naples community for many years under the most recent leadership of Dr. Ed Ezrine and Harvey Cohen. It fulfilled its mission with a diverse array of programs. The Israel and Overseas Committee will continue to focus on Israel, as well as bring programs of interest about other Jewish communities around the world.
To become a member of the Israel and Overseas Committee, contact Myra Benedikt at: myra.benedikt@gmail.com
