March 18-21, 2012 in Boston, MA
Our time together in Boston is an opportune moment to explore Jewish communal change. Professional Development and Torah Lishmah sessions will take full advantage of our access to the exemplary teachers and universities of the area. As always, we will laugh, pray and eat together—renewing ourselves and the vibrant sense of chevruta that marks our Conventions.
