OLAH conferences bring together women from all backgrounds from all over Europe for a unique exclusive mind-blowing program where we are all being enriched, exposed to, and connected to our Jewish identity, and to one another.
During the conference we go through a unique journey that was developed especially for Jewish women in Europe from all backgrounds.
We will be exploring and learning different aspects and layers of our identity and heritage. We will step through the cycle of life and through the Jewish calendar in an extraordinary way, that will stay with wherever we go.
