We’re excited for our upcoming annual conference. So far, we have over 550 registrants and an amazing array of sessions and speakers. But, as always, the most important thing is to get people to connect and think deeply and differently about their philanthropy, about how their work can make a difference in the Jewish World and beyond.

The quotes will be projected, with your name, on different screens around the conference venue.
