Tapestry Presents:
Z3 @ SAN | Z3 Project: Building the Jewish Future Together
Building on the legacy of our Tapestry event, which for years brought the community together for a day of Jewish learning and connection, this program carries that vision forward in a new way. The Z3 Conference brings Jews from across the political and religious spectrum together to explore Israel, Zionism, identity, and the future of Jewish life. Z3@ brings that spirit to San Diego. Built by the Lawrence Family JCC and shaped by the questions and voices that matter most here.
- Saturday, December 6, 7:00 pm | Young Zionist Panel
- As part of the Z3@SAN weekend, the Young Zionists Panel brings together essayists from Young Zionist Voices and emerging leaders from across San Diego for an honest, hopeful look at Zionism today. Together in conversation with Jacob Leibowitz from Hillel of San Diego, these young changemakers will explore what it means to build a meaningful relationship with Israel in the 21st century - one rooted in dialogue, curiosity, and shared values. Expect fresh ideas, bold questions, and heartfelt conversation about identity, connection, and the future of the Jewish people.
LOCATION: Congregation Beth El, 8660 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, CA 92037
- Sunday, December 7, 9:30 am | A Day of Community Dialogue and Learning
- Join us for a full day of thought-provoking breakout sessions and community conversations featuring speakers from San Diego and around the world. Together, we’ll explore new ideas about Jewish peoplehood, identity, and the evolving relationship between Israel and global Jewry. Rooted in the mission of the Z3 Project, this day embodies unity without uniformity - bringing diverse voices together to imagine a shared Jewish future.

About Z3 Project
Z3 is an initiative of the Oshman Family JCC. We aim to foster a fresh approach to Jewish engagement in the 21st century. We are dedicated to promoting a thriving Jewish future by building a robust Jewish public square where we facilitate meaningful dialogue between Diaspora Jewry and Israel. We believe in the power of Jewish Peoplehood, mutual understanding, and a shared destiny to unite Jewish communities across the globe.
IN OUR WORK, WE RELY ON THREE CORE OPERATING PRINCIPLES:
- UNITY, NOT UNIFORMITY. The Z3 Project aims to honor our differences while working for the oneness of the Jewish People.
- DIVERSITY OF VOICES. The Z3 Project convenes thinkers of differing backgrounds and perspectives across the political and religious spectrums.
- ENGAGING AS EQUAL PARTNERS. The Z3 Project brings together Israelis and Diaspora Jews to build our common future.
