Moriah
The Project
The Moriah Conference is the apex of the ideological process of the Israeli and International Forums. Intensive preparations take place between conferences, which are held once every 18 months.
The Moriah Conferences serve as a platform for direct dialogue between Israeli and Diaspora Jews on major issues on the agenda of the Jewish People such as, Jewish continuity, the centrality of the State of Israel, anti-semitism, as well as current affairs such as, the influence of the peace process on the Jewish People and, the implications of the economic growth of Israel.
The program of the conference and list of speakers are determined through full cooperation and coordination among the Israeli, European and North American Forum Moriah Committees.
Participants in the conferences come from all parts of the world.
In addition to stimulating dialogue, many practical projects were born as a result of the conferences and include, Otzma, Lehava, Business Forum, Yad BeYad, Amit, Bar/Bat Mitzva.
Facts and figures
Moriah Conferences held to date were attended by:
- 716 participants from Israel

- 206 participants from Europe and other countries.
