Dave Ramsey Steps In To Rescue Pro-Israel Conference After Nashville Hotel Cancels

Financial planning guru says providing a safe place for the event is a gift to friends from Israel..

Personal finance expert Dave Ramsey is rescuing a pro-Israel conference from cancellation after a Nashville hotel backed out from hosting because of alleged threats by anti-Israel activists.

When Ramsey heard that a Nashville hotel revoked access for the Israel Summit, an event scheduled for next week that will feature prominent Christians and Jews, organizers say Ramsey got in touch and offered not only to host it, but also to help make it even bigger.

“Dave Ramsey reached out and said, ‘You’re going to have it at my place and we’re going to take this event to a whole new level and make it 10x what it was before,’” Joshua Waller, a host of the Israel Guys podcast who is co-hosting the event, told The Daily Wire. “All of the details have come together and the event is skyrocketing in numbers.”

The Israel Summit describes itself as the first gathering of pro-Israel supporters who “unconditionally support Israel’s right to be sovereign in the entirety of the land of Israel, including Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, and the Gaza Strip.”

Along with The Israel Guys, the event is sponsored by HaYovel, an organization started by Waller more than 20 years ago which brings Christians to volunteer at farms in Judea and Samaria, and the Christan-Jewish bridge building nonprofits, Israel365 and Keep God’s land.

HaYovel went viral after Hamas’s brutal October 7 attack for bringing a group of American cowboys to help Israelis in need of labor as foreign agriculture workers fled and men were called up to fight in the war.

...

“Ramsey Solutions is proud to stand beside our friends from Israel by providing them a safe place to hold their event as our gift to them,” Ramsey Solutions said in a statement.

Despite Sonesta Hotel backing out from hosting the event, the event will take place on the same days it was originally scheduled for next week. It will move from Nashville to nearby Franklin, Tennessee, where Ramsey Solutions is headquartered.

“National news has taken on the story and the stage that we had planned for our Israeli friends has gotten so much bigger than we could have ever dreamed of,” Waller said. “This is the incredible story of bringing Israel to Nashville because so many of the best of Israel now have an incredible place to speak.”

“We’re so grateful to Ramsey Solutions for hosting the event,” Waller added.

Speakers include former U.S. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN), Member of Knesset Ohad Tal, Israeli musician Yair Levi, CEO of National Religious Broadcasters Troy Miller, and several pro-Israel journalists and activists.

Sonesta Hotel was pressured to cancel the event after a coordinated group of anti-Israel activists claimed the event would “recruit new Zionists” and pushed for people to call and email the venue to “demand for the immediate cancellation of this event.”

“Because of threats from radical anti-American, anti-Israel, and pro-Hamas hate groups, the hotel canceled on us,” Waller said.

First Liberty Institute, which is representing the Israel Summit, accused Sonesta of religious discrimination and violating Tennessee state law and Title II of the Civil Rights Act.

The hotel told Fox News that it consulted with local law enforcement and that the decision to pull out was because the event “presented a considerable risk to the safety of our team, our guests and those attending the event given heightened security concerns.”

According to FOX 17 News, the Metro Nashville Police said they “did not advocate, in any shape or form, for the cancellation of the conference at the Sonesta Hotel.”

It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say:—

“We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that plays it is lost!” -Kipling

Real estate investments generally require debt.

I am not blaming him for any problems. I don’t have any problems. Just following his philosophy has limited any good returns on my cash. So don’t do the “people like you” thing.

So whose advice should you have followed and why didn't you?

And who's to say your alternative advisor would have been any worse?....Sheesh!

...I came very close to putting a thousands into bitcoin when it first came out and were giving away a few samples...

I thought about putting a few thousand into it way back then also. A complete missed opportunity.

Kudos to Dave for stepping up and doing what’s right.

As far as the hotel, this link has all of their brands:

You know, for those of us who care about where we spend our money.

There will become at some point a parallel economy. How long they will tolerate that will be interesting. We need to start building banks, etc to handle our stuff.

“Real estate investments generally require debt.”

Your statement here proves that you don’t listen to any advice from Dave Ramsey.

” Nashville hotel backed out from hosting because of alleged threats by anti-Israel activists.”

BS. Management backed out due to DEI

BOYCOTT Sonesta Hotels!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I won’t be staying at Sonesta after that chicken hearted act.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Quite funny... Just because there are so many emails for travel related stuff, I have a separate email account for it. Anyway, within a few minutes of reading this article about the cancellation in Nashville, I happened to see that the Sonesta regular newsletter showed up. I promptly cancelled it and that prompted this reply....Let’s just say my comment was rather blistering.... I encourage others to do the same.

You will no longer receive email communications from Sonesta. Please leave your feedback below before you go.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To some extent, that already exists.... perhaps a better way to word that is that “at some point the parallel economy will become that much more strengthened.”

Case in point, I have a choice in what clients I pick to work with and where they are located.... a little bit of research is all that is required to assist in making that choice.

the event “presented a considerable risk to the safety of our team, our guests and those attending the event given heightened security concerns.”

So, the terrorists have won?

Who is going to make the terrorists follow through with their threats so they can be arrested and tried?

Apparently, Mr. Ramsey would.

If businesses keep backing down to the threats, then the threats become the weapon and there is no need to actually follow through. I don't want to see anyone harmed, but people can't keep giving in to the first signs of resistance, or it will never stop.
