Together, we will commemorate and reflect on the events of the last year and set out a path forward. We will honor our fallen and our captives, hear from leading lights in the Jewish world, and build bonds of unity as we confront the ongoing crisis. All attendees are required to abide by our Code of Conduct. Photo ID’s will be checked at the door.
