103, Multipurpose RoomJoin us in celebrating Jewish American Heritage Month with an inspiring afternoon featuring Jared Firestone, a South Florida native, Olympic athlete, and proud representative of Israel.
In honor of Jewish American Heritage Month, we invite you to join us for an afternoon with Jared Firestone, a South Florida native who proudly represented Israel as a flag bearer at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Known as the “Jewish Jet,” Firestone’s journey from South Florida to the world’s biggest stage is a powerful story of identity, resilience, and purpose. As one of Israel’s most accomplished winter athletes, he embodies the strength and spirit to represent the Jewish people and Israel on the global stage.
Join us for lunch, activities and engaging conversation as Jared shares his path to the Olympics, the meaning behind competing for Israel, and the role his Jewish identity has played in shaping his journey.
A cookie‑decorating craft and bracelet making activity will take place at 2:00 p.m. for all attendees to enjoy.
This is a meaningful opportunity to meet an athlete whose story embodies perseverance, cultural pride, and the spirit of Jewish American Heritage Month. We look forward to welcoming you!
