For the first time in America, a special golf event will be held in support of Judea and Samaria and its communities in Israel. The event, organized at the initiative of the American Friends of Judea and Samaria (AFJS), will take place on May 18 at one of the most renowned golf courses in Long Island.
The event, which is meant to connect elite players in the American business world with the enterprise in Judea and Samaria, is expected to attract decision-makers and opinion leaders who will enjoy a day combined with sports and Zionism.
It is expecting to host more than 100 golfers, including businessmen, influential community leaders, and social media influencers. Among expected participants are Senators Jim Dotson and Rep. Mindy McAlindon of Arkansas, two of the first leaders in the US to break ground in promoting legislation in favor of Judea and Samaria.
Also present will be other senators who are in the advanced stages of similar legislation, along with many officials from the US administration. Among Israeli officials expected is the chairman of the Knesset's Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, MK Simcha Rothman.
AFJS board member, Marcus Mizrachi, and organization supporter, Michael Albala, who have organized and managed golf tournaments in the US, and hold the Jewish communities of Judea and Samaria close to their hearts, are excited to bring their experience in spearheading the AFJS golf tournament and making it the flagship event of 2026.
Yigal Dilmoni, AFJS CEO, said: "We are breaking through new ground and bringing the story of Judea and Samaria to the largest domains. Our goal is to create connection through a special and prestigious experience between influential people in the US and the heart of the biblical homeland. On the day, they will be exposed to the historical importance of the region, and the tremendous work and growth occurring in Judea and Samaria. This event creates a real opportunity to strengthen support for Israel."
