Jewish National Fund: Parlor Meeting with Yoel Rosby @ Address provided upon RSVP
Oct 19 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm

Yoel Rosby is the JNF-Ammunition Hill Liaison and will share the incredible story of Ammunition Hill. Jewish National Fund is assisting in the development and renovation of the Ammunition Hill Memorial site. Ammunition Hill is located in Jerusalem and is the historic site of the battle for the reunification of the city in the ’67 War. Read more about Ammunition Hill here.

About Yoel:

After being discharged from service, Yoel studied at Bar Ilan University, earning a BA in Economics & Political Science and an MBA. Yet after a short period in the Finance world, Yoel once again followed his family’s heritage in serving his nation. He comes from a long line of serviceman. His wife’s great-grandfather served in the German army in World War I, 2 of his grandparents served in the US army in World War II, and his 4 older brothers served the IDF. It only made sense to continue his service on Ammunition Hill with the JNF.

Yoel currently resides near Jerusalem with his wife Yehudit who is originally from Queens, NY. In his spare time, he is the regional commander of his local medic volunteer core and is on a joint task force with the Police, EMS and Search & Rescue response teams.

Yoel sees it as his mission to take part in ensuring that Jerusalem remains our eternal capital. He is eager to discuss current events and ongoing projects, all in the name of strengthening our awareness of our heritage and the growth of the people and the land of Israel.
