What to Expect

Join us for J Street Philadelphia’s 8th Annual Event, featuring an engaging conversation between J Street President Jeremy Ben-Ami and former United States Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, two of the most informed voices on the future of Israel, Palestine, and U.S. foreign policy.

Together, they will offer a timely and incisive analysis of the wars that have reshaped the Middle East, the defining challenges posed by the Trump administration, and how the results of the 2026 midterm elections and Israeli elections will impact the region and American policy. Looking ahead, they will explore how policymakers can navigate these challenges, and how we can work to push the pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy movement forward.

The evening will be a critical forum for the honest, urgent conversations our moment demands. Join us and celebrate the growth and impact of our J Street Philadelphia chapter. We hope to see you there.

All proceeds benefit the J Street Education Fund.
