Israel and Overseas Committee (IOC)

The mission of the Israel and Overseas Committee (IOC) of the Jewish Federation of Greater Naples is to educate about, engage with, and advocate for Israel and global Jewry.  The Committee provides opportunities for our community to experience Israel and Jewish life around the world through a variety of events, lectures, cultural programs, and missions.

The Israel Advocacy Committee (IAC), which was the name prior to this new iteration, served the Naples community for many years under the most recent leadership of Dr. Ed Ezrine and Harvey Cohen.  It fulfilled its mission with a diverse array of programs, as you can see below.  The IOC will continue to focus on Israel, as well as bring programs of interest about other Jewish communities around the world.
