Legendary American TV and radio host Larry King arrived Thursday at The Beverly Hills Hotel for a fundraiser for Aleh Negev organized by the Jewish National Fund.
Aleh is a state-of-the-art communal rehabilitative village in Israel’s Negev Desert designed for people with cognitive and physical disabilities over the age of 21.
King and other American stars came to salute to the organization and its head Major General Doron Almog, who was part of the elite unit that rescued the Entebbe hostages in 1976.
What the Jewish host of CNN’s Larry King Live didn’t expect at the dinner was to hear about Passover.
King’s friend Moshe Malamud, Chairman of The Franklin Mint, who could not attend the event, asked another friend Yossi Kahana to give King a Pesach reminder.
Kahana, Director of Development for Aleh Negev – USA, greeted King at the dinner and didn’t forget to offer him a box of three hand-baked Shmura Matzos.
King was thrilled, Kahana told COLlive.com.
“He told us that it took him back 60 years, when he was a child in Brooklyn, and celebrated Passover at home,” Kahana said.
