Conference, Seminar, & Tour Dates 2011

This coming year FFOZ will be hosting several important educational conferences as well as a big end-of-the-year Simchat Torah bash. Good times of fellowship, learning, and connection are ahead.

Some of you may need to inform your employer or plan your year prior to the close of 2010 so we want to get you these dates as soon as possible. Details will be worked out over the next couple months, but the following dates are set for your planning purposes.

As a matter of course, we need to state that these plans are tentative and subject to change. We make plans now--yet everything rests in the hands of HaShem. We pray that each event will be meaningful and impactful.

Conference Dates:

Answering questions like, "How do we resurrect the Jewish Jesus in our teachings and Churches?" and "What does post replacement-theology Christianity look like?"
