Businesswoman and exceedingly generous philanthropist Miriam Adelson – who divides her time between Israel and the US, is known to have the ear of US President Donald Trump, and is among the largest donors to the Republican Party – first wore the dress at the inaugural ceremony marking the transfer of the US Embassy to Jerusalem. A multitasker with a vivacious personality, Hassan-Nahoum, dressed in a flowing pale turquoise Moroccan gandoura in a delicate, sheer fabric, floated among her many guests, who included Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion, Energy and Infrastructure Minister Eli Cohen, who had appointed her to her diplomatic role when he was foreign minister, Environmental Protection Minister Idit Silman, international influencer and former editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Post Avi Mayer, former editor-in-chief of the Post and The Jerusalem Report Steve Linde, who today (Wednesday) is celebrating his 65th birthday, Hillel Neuer of UN Watch, political activist Laura Wharton, Asher Friedman of the Misgav Institute, the effervescent Rachael Risby Raz, who is the COO of Kol Israel, a former Diaspora affairs adviser to Ehud Olmert and more recently was responsible for international relations at the Biblical Zoo, and Ezra Cohen, Panama’s ambassador to Israel, who lives in Jerusalem, is Orthodox, and attends daily morning prayer services at a local synagogue. It’s the year of the 100th anniversary of the Hebrew University, the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and the end of the Second World War, the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Israel and Germany, and the 50th anniversary on April 30 of the end of the Vietnam War, which this year happens to coincide with Independence Day.
