The National Israeli-American Conference in Washington, DC brought together 1,300 influential thought leaders, industry experts, community leaders, prominent journalists, senior political and diplomatic figures, and many more. We learned how to advocate for Israel, and how to raise kids who feel connected to our identity. We explored Israel’s impact on our lives from our success in business, to academia, and to entertainment. The workshops, breakout sessions and the plenaries are behind us but the inspiration, the energy and desire to make a difference will stay with us forever.
