FAQ

The Israel at 75 General Assembly is open to any member of the Jewish community. It is designed as a forum for Jewish leaders from North America and Israel, including Federation leaders, activists, and members, as well as partners, funders, thought leaders, and those involved in Jewish communal life in other capacities. We also look forward to welcoming participants who will be in Israel during the General Assembly through other missions and gatherings for portions of the experience. For those who are interested in an extended experience in Israel, we are pleased to offer the opportunity to join a national General Assembly mission, which will take place from April 19-26 and will include all General Assembly offerings. 

We are also excited to welcome Israel-based participants. A General Assembly in Israel is a once in a five-year opportunity to engage with the Federation system and meet top North American Jewish influencers and stakeholders. We invite nonprofit leaders, thought leaders and partners to join- to talk, debate and discuss with North American Jewish leadership the issues that are important to you as Israelis. Your presence will enable the real-life, real-time exchange on Israeli society and its future and the sacred relationship which binds us together as a people.
