As Israel and the global Jewish community grapple with the aftermath of the harrowing October 7th events, we must answer the question: What is the future of Israel in the next 12-18 months, and what will be the impact on recovery needs across the population? To be able to plan and think ahead in this uncertain context, we have embarked with PollyLabs on a process of future scenarios. Scenarios are the most robust tools that organizations and communities can use in situations like ours.

JFN conducted a community-wide scenario exercise at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, helping funders and communal organizations prepare for the post-pandemic future. Through PollyLabs, we are doing it again. PollyLabs is an Israeli/American think tank and a venture studio that combines the best practices of the corporate world with a deep understanding of the impact space. Over the past weeks, PollyLabs has convened a group of experts and leaders to craft a set of scenarios that outline the different futures that we could be confronting in 12-18 months.

Join us for a presentation of the scenarios and the beginning of our working groups per the relevant sectors. These task forces will inform the JFN 2024 International Conference, which will be a “working conference”, in which planning, and ideation will continue.
