What to Expect

In a world of non-stop breaking news, J Street is proud to take a moment to honor Senator Dick Durbin for his remarkable 43 years of public service at our Annual Luncheon. A longtime J Street champion, Senator Durbin has been a strong supporter of our pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy work in the Senate since our founding.

This year’s luncheon will also feature a timely and in-depth conversation between J Street President Jeremy Ben-Ami and Phil Gordon, former National Security Advisor to Vice President Kamala Harris. Together, they’ll unpack the latest news, delve into the US-Israel relationship and discuss the role Democrats and American Jews can play in standing against Trump and Netanyahu’s dangerous policies. Adding a powerful student voice to the conversation, Talia Winiarsky from J Street U at Northwestern will bring her perspective to this critical dialogue and share what it is like to be a Jewish, pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy student on campus.

We hope you’ll join us and be part of these important conversations shaping J Street’s work and our future.

All proceeds benefit the J Street Education Fund.
