This November 13th to the 15th at the Washington Hilton, next to our Washington DC B&B, will be the Jewish Federation of North America General Assembly. This Jewish Federation of North America General Assembly convention brings together volunteer and professional leaders from Federations across North America, as well as many in business of Jewish philanthropy from across the world. So as you can imagine, this gathering has a lot of momentum behind it as it is called together to bring about change and inspiration within these communities.
