OPTIONAL PRE-SUMMIT SHABBAT ACTIVITIES

Delegates are warmly encouraged to arrive early and spend Shabbat in Jerusalem, enjoying both the city and the company of fellow Summit participants ahead of the official program launch on Sunday.

An immersive schedule is planned to create space for connection and acclimation, including:

• Pre-Shabbat Reception in the Old City
• Friday Night Dinner
• Shabbat Afternoon Kiddush Reception (at IEF Member home)
• Seudah Shlishi Program

Participation is entirely optional but strongly encouraged as a meaningful way to begin the Summit experience in a relaxed and communal setting.

Please note: Advance registration is required for Shabbat meals in the hotel. Meal reservations can be secured through the dedicated Summit services portal operated by Vered Hasharon.
