Our toolkit include printable fliers and messages to post and hand out during the High Holidays, and you can also read tips from a congregation that ​ Read how one congregation successfully recruited and ultimately increased its delegation size, more than doubling its number of attendees. 
  • Learn more about the Intensives: Our eight blocks of Biennial learning sessions will provide high-quality learning on a variety of topics related to congregational life, social justice, and Jewish learning - and to help your congregation dive deeper into specific, pressing issues, four ‘Intensive’ tracks will help you organize your experience. No registration is required, and you're welcome to attend sessions in both the Intensives and non-Intensive sessions.
  • Get your own Biennial coach: Sign into the congregational portal to request up a complimentary Biennial coach who will help your congregation navigate Biennial and find the right sessions to meet your goals.
