Hi, I’m Risa.
I’m the founder of FAB Events Israel—and the sister or best friend who looks out for everyone else, notices the little things, and quietly steps in.

As a licensed Master of Social Work in the United States and Israel, I bring an understanding of people and family dynamics to event planning. I listen closely and help you make decisions that reflect your family, traditions, and priorities.

I bring the plan together, anticipate your needs, and field the unexpected with skill and a steady hand. As your point person and advocate, I look out for the arrangements you have chosen so you can stay present with the people you love.

I love helping families through life’s milestones and creating celebrations that truly reflect who you are. When you work with FAB Events, you’re never just another client. You’re family.

FROM MY EVENT SCRAPBOOK

Why I Do What I Do

Life gives us only a handful of truly unforgettable celebrations

More than an event.
A memory for life.

A wedding. A Bar or Bat Mitzvah. A new baby.
A milestone anniversary.

These moments deserve to be fully lived, cherished, and remembered.

What stays with me is the people: the family gathered together, the traditions passed on, and the joy of sharing a milestone. That is why I do this work.

With heart, Risa
