A selective cohort experience for North American young professionals ages 24-40 to engage in high-level policy discussions with analysts, diplomats, elected officials, and other Middle East regional experts and to build the next generation of leaders committed to a two-state outcome.
Charles Bronfman Conveners return to their communities with an in-depth understanding of the policy challenges shaping the current moment in Israeli-Palestinian affairs and a network of relationships with fellow young-professional leaders committed to Israel’s secure, Jewish, and democratic future.

Shapiro, Martin Indyk, and Dennis Ross, White House Jewish Liaison Shelley Greenspan, Director of the Center for Middle East Policy at Brookings Institution Natan Sachs, former MK and foreign policy expert Ksenia Svetlova, Ambassador Dina Kawar (Jordan), Deputy Chief of Mission Eliav Benjamin (Israel), and former Congresswoman Jane Harman.
