One of the largest Pacesetter Events in the Greater Miami Jewish Federation’s history drew more than 375 Jewish community leaders to the Fontainebleau Hilton Hotel on Miami Beach on December 16, 2003.

A passionate and vocal supporter of Israel, Malina spoke about his own experiences as a Jewish actor and his wish that other prominent Jews in Hollywood would voice their support for Israel’s right to exist. The event was sponsored by ABC Telephones, Akerman Senterfitt, Attorneys at Law, AON Risk Services, Inc., BellCare Nurses Registry, FMS Bonds, Inc., Gibraltar Bank, Greenberg Traurig, P.A., The Miami Herald, Seitlin Insurance Property and Casualty and Steel, Hector and Davis International.
