THIS YEAR IN JERUSALEM  
November 16-19, 2008


"I am pleased to invite everyone to Israel for this exciting event. Please join us as together we celebrate the history, legacy and future of the Jewish people and the State of Israel." – Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert

The 2008 GA -- the third to be held in Israel -- will mark Israel's 60th anniversary with a series of high-profile meetings and events in Jerusalem, inspirational visits to the North and South to see how UJC/Federation-supported work supports the Jewish state, and to Israel's cosmopolitan hub, Tel Aviv. Co-chairing the 2008 GA will be North American Chairs Mark and Jane Wilf of New Jersey and Israel Chair Shari Arison.

The Jerusalem events will include appearances by most of Israel's political leaders and dignitaries from across Israeli society. Among the political leaders confirmed or invited to appear are Prime Minister Ehud Olmert; Defense Minister Ehud Barak; Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, President Shimon Peres and Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu.

Another GA highlight will be a scheduled solidarity march through the streets and alleyways of downtown Jerusalem, recalling the historic march through Jerusalem at the height of the second intifada in 2003, demonstrating the unshakable bonds between North American Jewry and Israel.
