A Revolutionary Conference in a Revolutionary City

JNF-USA Selects Boston for 2022 National Conference

“At last, we’ll be together in-person again!” proclaimed Jewish National Fund-USA’s (JNF-USA) President, Dr. Sol Lizerbram. As the U.S. emerges from nearly two years of home isolation, Zoom calls, shaky Wi-Fi connections, and the ever-present “you’re on mute,” the organization’s ambassadors (lay leaders) and professionals are excited to announce that the 2022 Jewish National Fund-USA National Conference will take place on November 4-6, 2022, in the home of the American Revolution and one of JNF-USA’s strongest thriving communities — Boston.

JNF-USA’s last conference was held in Washington, DC

By this time next year, JNF-USA’s partners (donors) will come together to cheer, sing, and celebrate their support for the land and people of Israel at the premier philanthropy for Israel’s largest-ever in-person event in over two years.

“We are thrilled to host the first post-pandemic National Conference in our beautiful city,” said Risa Aronson, national co-conference chair and JNF-USA president of the Boston board of directors. “From Be’er Sheva to Boston, Kiryat Shmona to Kansas City, JNF-USA’s supporters from around the world will come together in support of the land and people of Israel and Jewish people everywhere after all this time. It will be an incredible experience you won’t want to miss!”

Those looking to be inspired, energized, and enthralled about everything JNF-USA is achieving in the Negev and Galilee will be nothing short of impressed with the lineup of global thought leaders, innovators, and representatives from the organization’s many philanthropic investments in Israel who will take part in panels, keynote speeches, and interactive discussions throughout the three-day riveting weekend at the Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport that showcases JNF-USA’s visionary work and addresses key issues.

“We have so much to look forward to in 2022, and this conference will be the centerpiece of the calendar,” added National Conference Co-Chair and JNF-USA National Treasurer, Michael Blank. “Come visit the Athens of America, the Cradle of Liberty, Beantown, the City of Champions. We promise you an exciting, informative, special time as we highlight the best of JNF-USA. Commit now, reserve your spot, and take advantage of the early bird discount rate for conference-goers who register by December 31, 2021, for what will be our biggest and best national conference ever.”

About & contact the publisher
For 125 years, Jewish National Fund-USA has helped strengthen the land and people of Israel by investing in the communities, infrastructure, and leadership that shape the country’s future. Our work is focused on making Israel’s North and South places where families can build full, vibrant lives with access to medical care, emergency response, water solutions, parks, playgrounds, jobs, and economic opportunity. Working with our donors and partners, we support underpopulated communities, help attract new residents, improve quality of life, and create the conditions for long-term growth. Our work reaches beyond projects on the ground. Through education, travel, and leadership opportunities, we connect Americans of all ages to Israel in meaningful and lasting ways. That vision continues with the World Zionist Village in Be’er Sheva, a global center that will bring people together to live, learn, lead, and strengthen the next generation of Zionist leadership.
