The Z3
Conference

The Leading Hub for Diaspora-Israeli Dialogue

The Z3 Conference is our public square: a place to celebrate, to wrestle with big ideas and to dream boldly about what comes next.

Our Purpose

For a decade now, the Z3 Conference has been the home of a new era of dialogue bringing together top thinkers, educators, activists, artists, community leaders and more from across the Jewish world. Through bold conversations and dynamic panels, we explore the biggest questions facing Israel, the Diaspora and the Jewish future.

From Conference to Movement

What started as a public square in our own community revealed something larger: a framework for Jewish Peoplehood. From that foundation, Z3 has grown into a movement reaching communities across the Jewish world.

Teen Summit

The Z3 Teen Summit is a unique track within the Z3 Conference designed especially to help teens find their voices, be in community and participate in the most important conversations shaping Jewish peoplehood today.

Z3@ enables communities to create their own public square. Designed by JCCs and local partners, each Z3@ conference is a locally shaped gathering rooted in the core values of the Z3 Conference.
