The Council of American Jewish Museums facilitates monthly Virtual Talking Circles for members to share information and discuss issues of importance and common interest via Zoom.

Why join? Because our community holds many voices—and that’s our strength. This approach brings conversation starters and field experts together to invite curiosity, instill hope, practice resilience, lift up collective wisdom, and celebrate innovation. Come to think big with peers, stay to learn concrete tools you can use the next day, and help shape a shared future worthy of our stories.
