Rooted & Rising: Dor Chadash — From Georgia, for the Future of Zionism

This year, J Street Georgia celebrates a new generation of courageous Jewish leaders shaping the future of liberal Zionism. We are proud to present the Tzedek v’Shalom award to three inspiring young Georgia leaders — Erin Beiner, Atlanta native and Director of J Street U; Lauren Haines, past J Street U Board member and recent college graduate originally from Athens, GA; and Matan Berg, current J Street U Board Vice President and Atlanta native.

Our keynote speaker, Dr. Yehuda Kurtzer, President of the Shalom Hartman Institute, will offer reflections on how we cultivate moral leadership across generations — and what it means to raise voices, values, and communities rooted in courage, care, and Jewish responsibility.

Come be inspired by the voices rising from our own Georgia community, and recommit to building a future rooted in democracy, dignity, and shared humanity — for all who call the region home.

All proceeds benefit the J Street Education Fund.
