Morning Mainstage Session

Jonathan Greenblatt will welcome participants back with a powerful call to leadership as a shared responsibility across individuals, institutions and communities. He will focus on moral clarity in uncertain times and the role each of us can play in building a safer, more inclusive future. We will present the Changemaker Award to Robert Kraft, honoring a legacy of philanthropy, civic impact and Jewish community building rooted in standing against hate, and the inaugural Ally Award to Emmanuel Acho, honoring those who stand with the Jewish community through sustained listening, learning and action. We will recognize Hillel college student leaders, celebrating the courage, creativity and joy Jewish students are bringing to campus life right now. ADL will also feature a special segment marking America at 250, connecting Jewish values to the broader American story, with perspectives from luminary David Rubenstein. We will close by honoring Heroes Against Hate, everyday leaders who spoke up when it mattered and helped shift culture.
