Save the Date! Austin Z3 February 22-24, 2025
What is the Z3 Conference?
The Z3 Project is an initiative bridging the gap between diaspora Jewry and Israel. It fosters open dialogue and offers a fresh model of Jewish engagement that explores Zionism in its third phase while fostering a strong sense of unity within the global Jewish community.
Founded and led by the Oshman Family JCC in Palo Alto, the Z3 Project celebrated its 10-year anniversary this past November. The upcoming Austin Z3 Conference will mark the city’s second year participating in this dynamic and impactful event.
This year’s programming will feature an inspiring introduction by Zack Bodner, CEO of the Oshman Family JCC and founder of the Z3 Project. Attendees will also enjoy thought-provoking keynote addresses, a college student panel, meaningful breakout sessions, a dedicated track for high school teens, appearances from special guest speakers, and so much more!

It was such a heartening way on engaging about Israel – with a group of people with diverse backgrounds and connections to Israel. Also, loved the connection with the Shalom Austin community and people in Austin who care enough about Israel to self-select to attend the conference.
Coming with no expectations for the day, except to learn all about Z3 and enjoy the community, I received so much increased knowledge and appreciation for our Jewish community.
