Friends of NBEC,
Last week, I had the honor of leading a Convergence delegation to Israel, where we engaged with President Isaac Herzog, senior government officials, and business leaders on the future of Black-Jewish collaboration. These conversations reinforced what I have always believed—our communities are stronger together. We share a history of resilience, a commitment to justice, and a vision for economic and political empowerment.
This report reflects the depth of our engagement, the key takeaways from our meetings, and the path forward as we continue to build meaningful global partnerships. I am grateful for the opportunity to strengthen these bonds and look forward to what we will accomplish together.
