"The visits to JCCs in the New York area and the Biennial conference encouraged
me to go back home and strengthen the Jewish aspect of our JCCs/clubs in
Argentina."

May 4-7, Miami, Florida
The World Confederation of Jewish Community Centers led and sponsored an international delegation that attended the JCCA Biennial Conference. Thirty top leaders from JCCs around the world gathered in Miami to learn and share. As new JCCs are opening in England, Moldova, Romania, Argentina and the Ukraine, learning from the North American JCC experience was very helpful. The delegates participated in various sessions, went out with JCC delegations for Sunday night dinners and presented their own experiences at various opportunities.
