"A James Bond style party"

A James Bond style party was at the FIZZ Club this Saturday night in midtown Manhattan, where the dress code was Black & White (bow tie was welcome too!) for men, classy and sexy for women.

The party was organized for the members of HavaLight, created by Georges Benoliel, who is an investment banker, and Gilles Amsallem, the owner of a textile company, who aimed at crafting a nice, laidback and friendly scene for the Jewish community in town. Sarit Chalamish, a nice young Israeli, helped the two plan the event.

The organization, whose main sponsor is the Jewish Week, was happy to welcome a large group from the Israeli defense delegation in town, who came to celebrate the birthday party of Sharon Buenos, a member of the delegation. Two birthday cakes were served, one for Sharon and the other in celebration of HavaLight's 1st year anniversary.
