Shutafut (Partnerships): A Conversation on Partnership and Possibility

Wednesday, May 7, 2025 - 12:30 pm EDT

Shutafut—Hebrew for “partnership”— has a twofold mission: to inform and to connect. We spotlight compelling organizations in Israel that align with our values and offer meaningful opportunities for connection.

The panel promises to be a thoughtful, hopeful and timely conversation.
