Over 150 guests, including the former Sephardi Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar, attended a festive ceremony honoring Mr. Isaac Dabah, CEO Delta Galil Industries Ltd. A leading businessman and philanthropist, Mr. Dabah was recognized for his extraordinary talents and unique business acumen that has fostered an organizational culture promoting a spirit of integrity and coexistence, and for his partnership with the University of Haifa in advancing underserved populations.

A highlight of the ceremony was a heartwarming thank you speech delivered by physical therapy student Eden Mekonen on behalf of Delta Galil scholars. The Delta Galil Program for the Academic Advancement of Undergraduate Students of Ethiopian descent launched in 2013, has supported 92 graduates and is currently supporting 150 students. Operating under the auspices of the Dean of Students, the Program provides financial support, as well as a series of leadership and empowerment workshops and classes.

The academic ceremony was followed by a fascinating conversation between Mr. Dabah and Ms. Dana Weiss, Chief Political Analyst & Anchor of the Saturday News, Channel 12 News. When asked about his “secret sauce” Mr. Dabah noted, “Innovation brings numbers; without people who are excited to drive forward new ideas and products, you cannot achieve (business) growth.”
