At this second national gathering of Jewish conservatives, our chairman looks to the future. What is the best way to harness the passions of our community, and to serve the common good together? What institutions need to be built, what initiatives funded, what are the strategic priorities that will shape our work in the years to come?
Chairman of the Tikvah Fund and the Jewish Leadership Conference, president of the Hertog Foundation, and vice-chairman emeritus of AllianceBernstein, Roger Hertog will describe his vision of the new Jewish landscape where communal entrepreneurs can breathe new life into Jewish politics, Jewish philanthropy, and Jewish institutions.
