With Record Attendance and Sponsorship

On Friday, May 6, nearly 500 real estate professionals joined with the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia’s Jewish Federation Real Estate group (JFRE) at the
Hyatt at the Bellevue in Philadelphia for its Fifth Annual Legends & Leaders Event. After breakfast, networking and greetings by JFRE Chair Jeff Bartos, attendees had the
opportunity to discuss today’s hottest real estate trends with 11 of the industry’s most brilliant minds: David J. Adelman, Dean S. Adler, Ron Caplan, Allan Domb, Carl
Dranoff, Bill Glazer, Bruce Goodman, Richard J. Green, Leonard Klehr, Steven H. Korman and Joseph S. Zuritsky. The event raised $350,000 in sponsorship from the day’s
generous corporate partners.

JFRE is committed to helping real estate leaders grow their industry expertise and professional network, while connecting them to the most effective vehicles for
supporting critical Jewish communal needs. For more information, contact Rachel Sigman, senior development officer, at 215-832-0513 or [email protected].
