Taste of Israel: UJIA Annual Dinner 2016

September 22, 2016 By Blake Ezra Photography

On Monday evening our team of Amanda and Blake were privileged to photograph the prestigious UJIA Annual Dinner at our home-from-home on Park Lane, Grosvenor House. This is the fourth year running that our team have covered this amazing event, this year Chaired by the enigmatic Lauren Fried.

Taking to the podium were so many key figures, including the Chairman of UJIA Bill Benjamin, Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis and Israel’s Ambassador to the UK, Mark Regev. Keynote speaker was world-famous lawyer and advocate for Israel, Alan Dershowitz, author of best-selling book The Case for Israel. Invited guests were treated to a truly expert synopsis of the world’s attitude towards the Jewish State.

The ‘Taste of Israel’ came from revered king of the kitchen Yossi Elad, the Executive Chef of much-celebrated Palomar in central London. He worked in collaboration with our friends at Tony Page to provide an exquisite meal to all involved. Working hard behind the scenes to ensure this event was a great success, and that a staggering £3.6 million was raised for UJIA’s vital work, was the creative teams at Fulwell 73, Creative and Commercial, and our friends at Muzika Productions.

A massive well done goes to Lauren and the entire Dinner Committee, as well as the incredible professional staff at UJIA including Jacalyn and Katie. Here are some of our favourite images from a wonderful evening…
