TribeFest Extravaganza Offers New Approach to Connecting with Judaism

This March 6-8, Jewish adults in their 20s and 30s from across the nation will gather in Las Vegas for TribeFest, an exciting three-day extravaganza that will offer the opportunity for participants to connect to Judaism while enjoying an amazing mix of inspirational programming featuring music, food, arts, entertainment and a hands-on community service project. Presented by The Jewish Federations of North America and numerous other Jewish organizations, TribeFest will include exciting speakers like actress Vanessa Hidary, Ami Dar of Idealist.org, author Ben Mezrich, Minnesota Vikings President Mark Wilf and many more! Beyond all that, TribeFest promises to be an outstanding networking opportunity and an avenue to meeting young Jews from communities across the country with a passion for tikkun olam, or repairing the world.

TribeFest’s Miami co-chairs are Jonathan Raiffe and Lisa Goldstein. Matthew Adler is the National Young Leadership TribeFest Programming co-chair.

As a way to invest in Jewish Miami’s future, Federation is offering generous subsidies for this mega event. Applications for subsidies are due by January 24. Click here to download an application.
