You are invited to Elluminate’s 2026 Convening on December 2, 2026 in New York City to tackle some of today’s most pressing challenges and help shape the path forward.

This year, we will take a hard look at the growing ecosystem that spreads — and profits from — misogyny, antisemitism, and hate, and what it means for women, our communities, and our society.

Hear from leading experts and women on the front lines. Explore how Jewish women are using their leadership, philanthropy, and collective action to confront these forces, advance change, and build a more just future.

COME FOR THE CONVERSATION AND CONNECTIONS.
LEAVE INSPIRED TO ACT.

Leave with a deeper understanding of the forces shaping this moment, meaningful connections with women leading change, and ideas and tools to turn concern into action — individually and collectively.

BE A PART OF SETTING THE PATH FORWARD 
FOR COLLECTIVE IMPACT.

Three years ago, the events of October 7 changed our world. The horrific, murderous attacks and their aftermath reverberated far beyond Israel’s borders. All Jews, and Jewish women leaders in particular, found themselves navigating trauma, growing antisemitism, deepening polarization, and the painful reality that Israeli women were too often not being heard or believed.

For Elluminate, that moment clarified something fundamental:

We were made for times like these.
Long before October 7, Elluminate had created a place where Jewish women leaders could bring the fullness of who they are – their Jewish identities, their commitment to women and social justice, and their deeply held belief in tikkun olam, our responsibility to repair the world.

When the world changed, those women rose to the occasion – and Elluminate was there to stand with them.

Today, three years later, the urgency has not disappeared……Antisemitism and misogyny continue to grow. Hate and extremism are being amplified and monetized. Women’s rights and democratic values are under pressure. And Jewish women leaders continue to find themselves on the front lines – leading organizations, strengthening communities, advancing solutions, and helping shape what comes next.

Experience Israel at a Pivotal Moment for Women’s Leadership
November 15–19, 2026

Join Elluminate in Israel directly following the Israeli elections at a pivotal moment for women’s leadership and equality. Meet the women on the ground—nonprofit CEOs, policymakers, advocates, academics, and social entrepreneurs—and explore firsthand the challenges, opportunities, and path ahead for advancing gender equality and strengthening Israeli society.

Travel with us from Tel Aviv and Jerusalem to the South and northern border as we meet women nonprofit CEOs, policymakers, legal advocates, academics, and social entrepreneurs working to strengthen civil society, advance gender equity, and build a more just and inclusive future. Through candid conversations, behind-the-scenes access, site visits, and firsthand experiences, we will witness the realities on the ground through a distinctly Jewish and gender.

Elluminate invests in Israeli women leaders through The Collective and our Israel hub. This Journey offers a unique opportunity to experience their leadership and impact firsthand.

Come learn, connect, and be inspired.

We mourn the passing of Gloria Steinem - a trailblazer, movement builder, and extraordinary force for women’s equality.

For generations of feminist women leaders and social change makers, Gloria was more than an icon. She was a role model who showed us what it meant to speak up, challenge systems that held women back, and use our voices and leadership to change the world.

She opened doors that had long been closed to women and then spent a lifetime working to ensure that other women could walk through them. Because of Gloria and the movement she helped build, generations of women have had greater opportunity to lead, to be heard, to make choices about their own lives, and to fight for a more equitable and just world.

At Elluminate, we believe deeply in the power of women’s leadership to create lasting social change. Today, we honor a woman who embodied that belief throughout her life.

Gloria changed the world for women. It is now ours to continue changing it.

May her memory be for a blessing —and her extraordinary legacy—continue to inspire us.
