Tree of Life Award Dinner

The Jewish National Fund honored Jeffrey Lipton of Nova Chemicals at its annual Tree of Life Award Dinner at the Omni William Penn Hotel. Lipton chose to donate a portion of the $225,000 raised at the event to construct a scenic lookout in Pittsburgh’s sister city of Misgav, Israel, in honor of an Israeli soldier, Arbel Reich, who was killed in Gaza. Reich’s children attended, as well as his sister, Einav, who gave the keynote address to a crowd of 375. Photos by Megan Wylie.
