Heroism and Hope

October 5 @ 8:30 am

The Associated Headquarters
5700 Park Heights Avenue

Featured Speaker
Dr. David Bryfman
CEO, The Jewish Education Project
One of the nation’s leading voices on Jewish teens, identity and Israel education, Dr. Bryfman will draw from his latest book, Heroism and Hope, to explore what today’s Jewish teens are experiencing and how we can help the next generation build meaningful connections to Jewish identity, Israel and the Jewish people in a post-October 7 world.

Join us for breakfast and an engaging conversation as we consider an essential question: How do we transform uncertainty into connection, purpose and hope?

Each guest will receive a complimentary copy of Heroism and Hope.

Voices That Inspire
