Fashion Designer and Mogul Elie Tahari has lived the American Dream for more than 50 years. He came to New York in 1971, from Israel, with less than $100 in his pocket, slept on benches in Central Park, and went on to build a billion-dollar fashion empire. There are thousands of fashion companies worldwide, but only three have lasted for more than 45 years globally and are still run by their founders: Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren, and Elie Tahari.
The Palm Beach Jewish Film Festival stated: Without you, we would not have the opportunity to showcase exciting, diverse, and important Jewish content to our audience. We all had to overcome many hurdles and had to quickly adjust to a new way of bringing the festival to our audiences virtually, but we managed to pull off a great season. As a result, our Film Festival was able to bring joy, engagement, and entertainment to hundreds of homes throughout our community.
The United States fashion designer Elie Tahari was selected for several film festivals in Florida, including The Boca Raton Jewish Film Festival, The Miami Jewish Film Festival, The Palm Beach Jewish Film Festival, and the Fort Lauderdale Film Festival. In addition, it will have its New York Premiere at the NY Sephardic Jewish Film Festival, which David Serero produces, on April 4th.
