The Z3 Conference brings Jews from across the political and religious spectrum
together to dialogue about Israel, the diaspora, identity, and the future of
Jewish life. It’s a gathering where unity is found by working together through
challenging discourse, not by avoiding it.
Z3 @ Cincinnati brings the spirit of the national Z3 Conference to our
community. The Z3 Conference is where Jews from across the political and
religious spectrum come together to have real conversations about Israel,
Zionism, power, identity, and the future of Jewish life. Z3 @ Cincinnati is
our local version. Built by the Mayerson JCC and the Jewish Federation of
Cincinnati, this event reflects the voices, questions, and realities of Jewish
life in Cincinnati. Together, we’re creating a space for bold conversation,
honest listening, and staying in the room when it’s difficult.
**What to expect at Z3 @ Cincinnati:**
* Hear Omer Shem Tov’s inspirational story of resilience and positivity as an act of resistance.
* Learn from thought leaders such as Elior Levy (Israeli TV reporter), Dr. Muli Peleg (University of Cincinnati), Tzach Shmuely (Community Shliach), Charlie Covit (current Harvard Student), Shayna Kling (Cincinnatian who works at University of Miami (FL) Hillel), and Shanie Reichman (Israel Policy Forum).
* Shop in our shuk (market) of handmade products from Israel.
* See how the Z3 came to be a visionary movement for the next chapter of Israel and Jewish Peoplehood.
* Participate in the global conversation of what the Jewish future looks like.
**Full Schedule of Events:**
Registration will open at 1:30pm, and it will be open all day. You will
receive a Z3 lanyard with a nametag, and you must keep it on at all times in
the building for security purposes.
We would love for participants to join us all afternoon! However, we get that
Sundays are busy! So, here’s a bit of the schedule:
* 2 – 3:30pm – We all come together to kick off our Z3.
* 3:45 – 4:45pm – Go to the breakout sessions of your choice: _Is a Two-State Solution Still Possible? Insights from a Conflict Analysis expert and Palestinian Affairs reporter_ OR _Why Millennials and Gen Z See Division in American Jewish Communities—and What It Will Take to Move Forward Together._
* 4:45 – 5:30pm – Shop in our shuk (market) or enjoy lite bites by Rotem (kosher dairy) and a wine bar
* 5:30 – 7pm – We’ll come together for a powerful close to our day
* The shuk and community art project will be open all day if you need a break from sessions.

Polarization's Impact On Our World: What Can We Do?
2026-04-29 16:00 - 17:30 | Mayerson JCC 8485 Ridge Ave, Cincinnati, Ridge Avenue 8485, Cincinnati, Ohio, 45236, United States
This program is open to all, not just 60 & Better members.
Americans have rarely been as polarized as we are today. We are aware of how
polarized our country is: Democrats, Republicans, and Independents seemingly
live in separate and divided worlds. Political disagreements aren’t wrong, in
fact, this is an important part of a healthy democracy. The difference in our
current situation is that the political divisions are limiting our ability to
function effectively as a country and straining relationships. A Pew Research
Study in October 2019 found an overwhelming majority of respondents wanted
less divisiveness and more cooperation. However, polarization is not just an
American problem but it is a worldwide problem.
Join us to review eleven key sources that are contributing to polarization.
Then discover tools and skills to help us overcome this divisiveness and
bridge the divide.
_Brought to you in partnership with Braver Angels._
