At noon (MDT) on Sunday, October 3, we will gather for our 2021 General Assembly to reflect, learn, and explore several important areas of Jewish life that are on our communal agenda at this critical time. The last year has seen dramatic events with far-reaching consequences for the Jewish community – from the pandemic to thousands of rockets falling across Israel. And we have shown, once again, that when we work together we can tackle anything. Assembling together, even virtually, is a powerful way to inspire, recognize, and support one another as we prepare for the year ahead. We hope you will join us and register for this free event. Open to all Federation stakeholders, partners, and the broader Jewish community.
