The upcoming Torah U’Mesorah Presidents Conference, set to take place December 19-22 at the Trump Doral Golf Resort in Miami, is expected to host Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as a special speakers, Torah U’Mesorah officials tell YWN.
Governor DeSantis has gained widespread recognition among Orthodox Jewish communities for his steadfast support of educational initiatives that align with religious values and his advocacy for Israel. His strong ties with the Jewish community have been further cemented following the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led massacre that claimed the lives of 1,200 people and saw 251 taken hostage.
In 2022, the same Torah U’Mesorah event featured remarks by former President Donald Trump, who has also been recognized as a strong supporter of Jewish life and Israel.
Editor’s Note: A previous version of this article stated that billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman was also expected to speak at the conference, based on information provided to YWN by Torah U’Mesorah. However, following its publication, a source close to Ackman reached out to YWN, stating that “while Bill has been invited, he is very unlikely to attend the conference.”

This event in Trump Doral has become a GOP MAGA fest. In the past this event featured Jason Greenblatt, Donald Trump and had an NRA booth. Now it is DeSantis and Ackman. Perhaps it should be called the Torah Umesorah URepublican Conference.
