The Algemeiner, the global news destination covering the Middle East, Israel, and matters of Jewish interest, hosted its

 12th Annual J100 Gala at Capitale.

Argentine President Javier Milei,
Disturbed lead singer David Draiman,
and Saba Capital founder Boaz Weinstein 
were honored.

Editor Dovid Efune and CEO David Cohen 

welcomed hundreds of guests
 to the at-capacity gala.

The evening also premiered

The Algemeiner’s annual J100 list,

recognizing 100 individuals — Jewish and non-Jewish

 — whose actions had a demonstrably positive impact
 on Jewish life and Israel.

Included were activists, leaders, and notable figures such as

 musician Billy Joel,
 founder of Barstool Sports Dave Portnoy, 
Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, 
and Secretary of State Marco Rubio 

for their steadfast support of Israel and commitment to Jewish security.
 

“We were founded over 50 years ago.” said Simon Jacobson,
The Algemeiner’s publisher,

“Our mission is quite simple – in an age of misinformation from propaganda that travels faster than facts, a war is being fought on the landscape of ideas, of narrative, of media to be an unwavering, courageous voice of truth,
and integrity in journalism.”

Argentine President Javier Milei,

recognized for his support of Israel and the Jewish community, said

“Today our moral sense tells us something with absolute clarity:
 the West is in danger.

We must fight to defend our legacy, the principles of respect for life, liberty, and property, from those who want to take it away from us, from those who want to make us believe that it is worthless or that we are evil.”

Boaz Weinstein,
 recognized for his philanthropy and advocacy, said

“When I visit Israel, I am always struck by the quality of community, of courage, of clarity, of purpose, and commitment that I struggle to find anywhere else in the world.”

David Draiman,
 honored for speaking out against antisemitism, performed both the Israeli and American national anthems.

The event was chaired by
Simon Jacobson, Bernard-Henri Lévy,
 Editor Dovid Efune and his wife Mushka Efune, 
and Nina Rennert Davidson and Mitch Davidson. 

CEO David Cohen welcomed guests that evening, including

 former NYC Mayor Eric Adams, Valerie and Jeff Cohen, Nicole and Joseph Kaufman, Dan Loeb, Ingeborg and Ira Rennert, and Kate Vlasovskaya.
