Welcome to Boston!
Boston inhabits a distinctive space in Jewish history: a space of tradition, transformation and extraordinary scholarship. Its many learning institutions, congregations, and community organizations inherit the revolutions of the past and foster future revolutions, with an eye toward new definitions of community engagement. Boston’s scholars, teachers and community members are paving the paths of leadership.
Our time together in Boston is an opportune moment to explore Jewish communal change. Professional Development and Torah Lishmah sessions will take full advantage of our access to the exemplary teachers and universities of the area. As always, we will laugh, pray, and eat together —renewing ourselves and the vibrant sense of chevruta that marks our Conventions.
If you need anything during the Convention, please find a member of the Program Committee so that we may help make your Convention experience as meaningful and enjoyable as possible. As well, please take note of the details in this booklet, all of which will help you to further enjoy our 123rd Convention.
