Agudath Israel of America is excited to announce that the highly anticipated Agudah National Action Summit will take place on Monday and Tuesday, December 1–2, 2025, at the Newark Marriott Hotel. The two-day midweek gathering will draw community leaders, rabbanim, educators, askanim, and professionals from across the country for an event that will address the most urgent and complex issues facing the Jewish world today.
“The Summit is where actions will speak loudest,” said Mr. Shloime Werdiger, chairman of Agudath Israel’s Board of Trustees. “It’s designed for the doers of Klal Yisroel — those who roll up their sleeves, who lead, teach, support, and strengthen our communities every day. This is where they come together to share ideas, collaborate, and take tangible steps forward.”
From shidduchim and chinuch to special-needs, mental health, community growth, and halachic and legal challenges, the Summit will offer both practical strategies and hashkafic guidance for leaders navigating these realities on the ground.
Featuring a slate of distinct professional and communal specialized tracks, the Summit ensures that every participant can gain relevant insights tailored to their area of influence. Tracks will include:
• Rabbanim & Morei Derech
• Community Builders
• Special Needs Leaders
• Mental Health Professionals
• Shadchanim
• Kallah Teachers
• Legal Professionals
Each track will feature expert-led panels, interactive workshops, and real-world case discussions. The sessions will spotlight collaboration between communities, sharing of successful models, and open conversations that inspire both thought and action.
The two-day format, with an overnight stay at the Newark Marriott, is designed to encourage full immersion and connection. Participants will be able to take advantage of comfortable on-site accommodations and networking opportunities that extend well beyond the sessions themselves.
A grand gala dinner, a highlight of the event, will feature uplifting keynote addresses from gedolei Torah. The dinner will celebrate those who dedicate their lives to building and strengthening Torah communities, offering words of chizuk and direction to propel their efforts forward.
“This summit is a call to action, a place for those shaping our communities to come together, to learn from one another, and to leave with new strength and clarity to continue their avodas hakodesh,” said Mr. Werdiger.
The Agudah National Action Summit continues a proud tradition of landmark gatherings that have united and galvanized Klal Yisroel. With sessions designed to translate inspiration into implementation, the event promises to be both practical and uplifting, a reflection of the Agudah’s core mission to strengthen Torah life, advocate for the needs of the community, and empower those who serve on its front lines.
Registration for the Summit is now open, and space is limited. For more information, visit AgudahAction.com, email actionsummit@agudah.org, or call 212-363-8941.
