More than 100 emerging and established leaders from across Houston’s Jewish community gathered on March 25 for an exclusive evening with actor, comedian and outspoken Israel advocate, Michael Rapaport. The program was held at the home of Stacy and Luis Gomar and hosted in partnership with the Jewish Federation of Greater Houston.
The festive evening created space for meaningful connection, thoughtful conversation and shared learning in an intimate setting. It offered guests a unique opportunity to engage with one of today’s prominent pro-Israel voices.
Rapaport shared his candid reflections and personal insights, which sparked dialogue and inspiration. The gathering underscored the Federation’s ongoing commitment to cultivating the next generation of community leaders – individuals who are deeply engaged, informed and invested in Jewish life, locally and globally.
With the support of the Gomars and a dedicated host committee, the program reflected the power of bringing people together around shared values, strengthening relationships and building momentum for the Federation’s mission of strengthening the Jewish community in Houston, Israel and around the world.
