During one of the most critical times for American Jews, Jewish Federations are proud to announce that Israeli President Isaac Herzog and Sheryl Sandberg will speak at our General Assembly in Washington, DC this November 10-12.
  
Opening with an "Evening of Unity," this year's General Assembly is an opportunity for members of our community to be part of the solution to our most pressing problems, such as rising antisemitism, increasing anti-Israel bias, and a growing sense of division and polarization. This year's event occurs just one week after the US election and a year after the historic March for Israel.

 
"The General Assembly empowers people from across the Jewish community to come together and tackle today’s critical challenges, including securing Israel, our North American communities, and the future of Jewish life,” said Jewish Federations Executive Vice President Shira Hutt. “We couldn't be more delighted to host President Herzog and Sheryl Sandberg, whose voices and clear-eyed leadership have been essential in these hard times, at this year's event."

Herzog has worked tirelessly since October 7th to foster hope and resiliencies among Israelis and continues to use his voice to promote unity and solidarity for global Jewish communities facing increased antisemitism.
  
Sandberg recently led a documentary, “Screams Before Silence,” that centers on the sexual violence committed by Hamas during their horrific attacks on Israel. She has described the film as the most important work in her life.
