The 2012 NAASE International Conference

"We bring you greetings from Jerusalem and from all the points along the map of our Conference journey. Energized through the intensive itinerary, the unique access provided us to people and sites, and the captivating experiences we are sharing across the spectrum of the Masorti Movement here in Israel, the time is flying by too quickly!"

A Shabbat message from the President . . .

    Standing not too far away from the Kotel as Shabbat descends upon Jerusalem and the assembled NAASE membership, guides, speakers, organizers, and chaverim from all points on the spectrum . . .

    "Shabbat Shalom to all from Jerusalem . . . we are having a wonderful time, though we miss everyone back home who wasn't able to join us this time . . . everyone is having an amazing trip and a wonderful conference . . . every site visit, every speaker, every class session, every conversation, have all been terrific . . . we look forward to telling you all about it when we get back.
    Shabbat Shalom!"

    Sh'alu shalom Yerushalayim . . . Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
    Psalms 122:6
