The 2010 Plenum is about “B’Yachad” – working together and building relationships with our friends in both the Jewish and broader, interfaith communities. Forming broad-based coalitions aimed at fighting poverty, protecting human rights, and working towards a peaceful Middle East is a hallmark of Jewish community relations. At the Plenum 2010, you will have an opportunity to educate yourself and build upon these skills while networking with colleagues and peers.
