The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ) will be holding its Israel’s 75th Diamond Anniversary Gala at the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill, 400 New Jersey Ave NW, Washington, DC 20001 on May 17 from 6 – 9 p.m.

For the Washington, D.C. gala, the keynote speaker is Jason Greenblatt, architect of the Abraham Accords, a peace treaty normalizing relations between Israel and several neighboring Arab nations.

Seventy-five years ago, on May 14, 1948, Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion read Israel’s Declaration of Independence at the Tel Aviv Museum. For the first time in more than 1,800 years, there was a Jewish nation in the Middle East. Israel had been reborn.

The events are open to the public, and the cost to attend is $125 per person. To register or to become a sponsor, visit www.icejusa.org/Israel75.
