Register for the 2012 General Assembly in Baltimore
Online registration is now officially open for The Jewish Federations of North America’s (JFNA) 2012 General Assembly.
Close to 4,000 Jews from North America and around the world are expected to attend the event, being held November 11-13 at the Baltimore Convention Center.
The three-day conference will feature sessions, workshops and plenaries exploring a range of topics shaping Jewish life including Israel, politics, Jewish education, philanthropy and the next generation.
The assembly also annually plays host to a range of global leaders and VIPs.
“The GA will touch on all aspects of Jewish life. From discussing the most serious issues facing the Jewish community to exploring Jewish culture and spirituality, there will be something for everyone to take home,” said Genine Macks Fidler.
Fidler is co-chair of the 2012 assembly, along with Linda A. Hurwitz and their husbands, Josh and Steven, respectively.
This year’s assembly will also feature the first Marketplace, which will highlight the Jewish experience through film screenings, book signings, Judaica, food and shopping opportunities.
Other events include a Taglit-Birthright Israel Bar Mitzvah Celebration.
THE ASSOCIATED: Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore has worked closely with JFNA to provide special pricing to Baltimoreans interested in attending the workshops and the Marketplace.
“The GA is the right place to be for people from every walk of life in the Jewish community,” said Linda A. Hurwitz. “It’s the right place for Federation professionals to exchange ideas and trade strategies and volunteer leaders to inspire one another toward greatness.”

Who would want to attend an event led by this elitist Obama-loving cabal? And the timing is particularly horrible for all involved. Sane Jews could be in a state of depression over the fact that Obama has just been reelected, which will mean that the world's largest Jewish community - America's will be in great danger, while the Fidlers would be in a state of ecstasy over Obama's win, further highlighting their disconnection with reality. The alternative would be that Romney just won, which with G-d's grace will be the case, but the Fidlers would surely turn this event into an opportunity to warn us all about "the dangers" now facing our community because Romney may actually run a moral and non-corrupt administration that uplifts all instead of just big donors like the Fidlers. The obscenity of it all...
