This is a private, facilitated conversation with Jewish teens from around the world, held during the CTeen International Conference. It is designed to give philanthropists firsthand insight into how Jewish teens are experiencing the current moment, directly from those living it. While the conference itself is a global celebration of Jewish pride, the donor briefing takes place in a quieter, intentional setting designed for reflection and candid exchange.

No. This is not a presentation, panel, or programmatic briefing. There are no speeches, slides, or fundraising appeals. The format is a guided dialogue centered on lived experience, perspective, and real-time realities.You are invited to submit questions in advance, that will help us focus on the issues that are of special concern to you and help guide the conversation.

Philanthropy often relies on reports, metrics, and summaries. This briefing offers something different: direct human connection. By engaging with teens themselves, participants gain perspective on: How antisemitism is being experienced on the ground What truly builds resilience, confidence, and Jewish pride Where Jewish life is quietly advancing despite pressure The purpose is understanding and insight, not solicitation.

Participants will hear firsthand reflections from Jewish teens across continents, including: How a generation is standing tall in the face of antisemitism Why many teens are choosing deeper Jewish engagement, not retreat How Jewish identity and leadership are being shaped from within

The briefing is held alongside the closing moments of the CTeen International Conference at Nassau Coliseum.

This briefing is designed for: Philanthropists and foundation leaders Donors invested in Jewish continuity and leadership Individuals seeking a firsthand perspective beyond headlines and reports Attendance is intentionally limited to preserve candor, trust, and meaningful dialogue.
