Join us on Saturday, May 17 for Jewish Roots: Our Precious Gems, held at 6:30 pm at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside.

This fabulous evening features a cocktail reception and seated dinner, highlighted by an exquisite jewelry showcase from world-renowned fine art, antiques, and jewelry dealer M.S. Rau, along with a runway-style fashion show by Dillard’s.
