X to the Nth (1st Half)
Sunday August 2, 2026 3:00pm - 3:45pm MDT
A revealing and uplifting icebreaker/ opportunity to share best practices.

Please prepare a short report on two “BESTS” that have captured your attention, given you hope, or taken your breath away RECENTLY (in the last year).

They can be Jewish or not (maybe 1 from the Jewish world and one from another part of your life): great ideas, programs, approaches, products, inventions, research, campaigns, studies, collaborations, or WHATEVER. They can be from the business world, the arts, the non-Jewish world, geopolitics, academia, anywhere else, or the Jewish community. Come prepared to give up to a 5-minute MAX presentation to the group. If you want to share written materials, bring enough for 26 people. Fine to bring props but PPT or video for this assignment is NOT encouraged (however, if essential, email Angie). Feel free to comment on how or why you think applying this WOW to the Jewish community or Israel or the world would be positive.

If you are leading a session please choose to share something different.
