As the 2025 General Assembly comes to a close, delegates will reflect on the dramatic events of the past year and the challenging times that lie ahead. The GA has confronted the defining issues of the day: the security and safety of Jewish communities, the resilience of our people, the rebuilding of Israel, and the strength of Jewish life across North America.
The closing plenary session will weave together these themes as we look to the year ahead. Together, we’ll consider how our shared purpose and collective power can guide us forward - to meet the challenges before us, seize new opportunities, and continue building a vibrant Jewish future for generations to come.
