Thanks to important social innovations in medicine and technology, we are experiencing the gift of increased longevity - living longer, better. As a result, we have added roughly thirty years of life extension to the middle of our lives - not the end - and created a new life stage: “Middlescence”. Together, we will explore the intersection of “Middlescence” and Jewish life and community. How can we re-imagine, design for, and invest in Jewish engagement opportunities for people entering midlife (55+) to find purpose, community, and connection in a Jewish context? What do we need to build, and where should we begin?

The marked rise in antisemitism and delegitimization of Israel, coupled with the perception of declining support from traditional allies, has raised grave concerns across the Jewish community. These threats serve to remind us that our ability to thrive is reliant on engagement with broader civil society and creative solutions to an age-old problem. Jewish Federations of North America recognizes that the most effective way to stem the increase in antisemitism and Israel delegitimization, while building flourishing Jewish communities, is through deep and authentic community building and engagement across multiple sectors. Join us for a conversation to learn about the innovative ways different communities are combating antisemitism through community relations work and in our school system

The American Jewish family has never been more diverse. In the last ten years over 70% of non-Orthodox Jewish marriages were to someone who did not grow up Jewish, and 20% were to someone of a different race or ethnicity. Yet, finding a life partner and starting a family is when many begin to seek out Jewish life and engagement. Learn from experts what the Jewish family of today is looking for and how we can build flourishing Jewish communities by centering their needs.

Participants will leave with hands on practice, a toolkit, and a plan in place. If you're at the conference with a family member, join us together to get the conversation started or keep it going!
