The speakers, workshops and educational sessions include Yossi Klein Halevi, Senior Fellow, Shalom Hartman Institute, and officers of the Rabbinical Assembly, the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, Reconstructing Judaism and Rabbi Josh Weinberg, Vice President of the Union for Reform Judaism.

J Street states that it organizes pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans to promote US policies that embody deeply held Jewish and democratic values and that help secure the State of Israel as a democratic homeland for the Jewish people.
