Royce Hall Benefit Supports Sha’ar HaNegev Village

Letters, Light and Love is scheduled at UCLA’s Royce Hall on October 19, with net proceeds designated for a community and resilience village in Israel.

Letters, Light and Love is scheduled for October 19, 2026, at UCLA’s Royce Hall in Los Angeles. Jewish Federation Los Angeles says all net proceeds from the stage production will support the Sha’ar HaNegev Community & Resilience Village in Israel, which the Federation supports.

A stage event with a named beneficiary

The Federation advertises a single evening production rather than a continuing run. Its announcement identifies the beneficiary but does not provide a fundraising target, a cast list or a detailed account of the village’s operations. The commitment concerns net proceeds, meaning the amount remaining after relevant costs, rather than all gross ticket revenue.

That distinction gives the event its concrete Israel connection. Readers can identify where the announced benefit is directed without assuming a particular sum will be raised or attributing services and projects to the beneficiary that the event announcement does not describe.

The date and venue

The dedicated Federation listing gives a 19:30 start in California (PDT, UTC−7). This corresponds to 05:30 on October 20 in Israel (IDT, UTC+3). The Federation calendar advertises an ending time of 21:00 in California.

Royce Hall is at 40 Royce Drive on the UCLA campus, Los Angeles, California 90095. A separate Federation summary showed a 19:00 start, but the dedicated listing and ticketing record support 19:30. Prospective attendees should check the current organiser notice when making arrangements.

The event contact is Betsy Berger at BBerger@JewishLA.org or +1 323-761-8216. A public sale price and currently available seats were not established, so the calendar listing should not be taken as confirmation that tickets can already be purchased.
