***POSTPONED*** In Conversation - A Convening of Community in Lafayette

A gathering to discuss the future of the Bay Area Jewish community

With the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the Bay Area, we are committed to doing all we can to preserve the health and safety of our community. To that end, we have made the decision to postpone these In Conversation gatherings and will update you with a rescheduled date.

Join Federation CEO, Danny Grossman, and Incoming Board Chair Arthur Slepian for a community convening.

The East Bay and San Francisco-based Federations have a history of effective partnership. And now that we’re officially joined, we have begun increasing efficiencies to better serve you and move to the next evolution of collaboration between our organizations. Whether you live or work in Oakland, Palo Alto, San Rafael, or San Francisco, we are all connected to one another, and as history has taught us, we are stronger when we work together. This is an opportunity to meet Federation leadership, lay leaders and professionals in person and gain greater insight on how we’re are uniquely creating a life of meaning and connection to Judaism as we move forward together.

  • Hear about the Federation's strategic direction
  • Listen to new opportunities being presented for the East Bay community
  • Get updates on the East Bay and San Francisco integration
  • Ask questions as well as share comments and concerns

Light kosher refreshments will be served.

Registration will be closed after April 1.
