This is your warning: Don’t be one of those folks who looks back and says: “I heard the Z3 Conference was amazing, I wish I’d gone!”

Don’t miss it –we are bringing together some of the world’s most insightful and inspirational thought leaders to address one of the most important issues facing the Jewish community: the changing dynamic between Israel and American Jewry.  Z3—or third generation Zionism—recognizes that the future of the Jewish world lies both in Israel and the US. Each of our communities have many areas of overlap as well as places where we don’t find common ground. And yet, our future, and our collective strength depends upon our mutual dependence and ability to bring our wisdom and support to each other. It’s a complex challenge and one unique to our generation.

If you are a supporter of Israel, if you believe that American Jewry is here to stay and that our continuing and evolving relationship with the land and people of Israel is vital to both our communities, then you don’t want to miss this important discussion hosted at Stephen Wise Temple. Speakers from across the country and across the globe are appearing on a variety of panels discussing such issues as Jewish power, responses to global antisemitism, the impact of social media, and, because this is Hollywood: the Israeli entertainment industry and the image it presents to the world.
