We invite BGS donors to hear from special guest and speaker Mosheh Oinounou, Emmy-winning journalist and founder of Mo News in our intimate fireside conversation.

In a fireside-style conversation, Mo will speak candidly about:
  • The current state of media and the rise of misinformation
  • Antisemitism in media and how it’s being addressed
  • How to find and support reliable, unbiased news sources
  • His personal Jewish journey and connection to Federation
  • The story behind founding Mo News and building a trusted brand

This is a unique opportunity to connect with fellow young philanthropists, hear from a trailblazing media voice, and learn how your gift can shape the future of Jewish life in Atlanta and beyond.
