Join UJA for the Lawyers Division Annual Event, honoring Daniel A. Neff with the Judge Joseph M. Proskauer Award and Jonathan J. Katz with the James H. Fogelson Emerging Leadership Award. Celebrate our honorees professional and philanthropic achievements.

Lawrence H. Summers, the former U.S. Treasury secretary and Charles W. Eliot University Professor and President Emeritus of Harvard University, will share his insights about current economic challenges.

As we face greater economic uncertainty -- coupled with rising antisemitism, increased poverty, and a mental health crisis -- we’ll come together to support UJA’s critical work on these diverse fronts.
