More than 100 community leaders came together at Holocaust Museum Houston on Sept. 3 to welcome Israeli Consul General Adi Farjon Israel to Houston.
HMH CEO Gary Weisserman greeted community, civic and diplomatic leaders, and Congregation Emanu El Senior Rabbi Oren Hayon gave a pre-Rosh Hashanah blessing before introducing the new consul general.
Attendees enjoyed kosher bites and drinks during the reception.
The consul general is making her rounds throughout her five-state territory and will visit the JHV later this month to share her vision for furthering Israel and Houston’s special relationship.
