It's pretty darn impossible to be a jewish leader these days...and a rabbi even more.


With a meteoric rise in antisemitism and campus protests, Jews and white privilege dynamics, and especially Inter-faith and inter-racial challenges,  we are facing many obstacles created AFTER October 7.


How can learning from history help us navigate forward?


Join us at our 2026 conference where we will dive deep into history and its powerful impacts on today...and our hopes for tomorrow.


We welcome Dr. Marc (Moshe) Dollinger as our guide for deeper learning.

Additionally, he is a past president of both the Jewish Community High School of the Bay and Brandeis Hillel Day School.
