Reimagining Traditions: Finding Harmony and Balance
Welcome to Bellevue! WRJ Pacific District invites you to our Pacific District 2023 Convention in Bellevue, Washington – “Reimagining Traditions: Finding Harmony and Balance.” This is the Pacific District's 56th Convention and thanks to the efforts of our convention planning team and our local convention host, Temple B’nai Torah, it promises to be a fun and educational four days!
This convention is being held as a hybrid event, so several of the main sessions will be broadcast on livestream and one workshop in each block will be available for virtual attendance. We hope that most of you will be able to attend in person to experience the full value of convention and connection. Keep watching the Chai Line and Yammer for more updates from the Convention Planning Committee.
We are so excited to see you all in March 2023!

My Favorite Convention Memories
Lillian Burkenheim Silver
My favorite Convention memories are being with my Sisters exploring new experiences. My first Convention was in Oakland. We flew into San Francisco Airport and took the BART to Oakland. It was my first time leaving my family and trekking on a girls’ trip. And it was exciting, informative and fun. The seasoned members of our Sisterhood held nightly slumber parties for everyone, where we met and talked about what we learned, our lives and everything under the sun. There were so many exciting programs and ideas I remember being excited to come home and recreate some of them at our Sisterhood.
My second favorite Convention memory was at the Convention in Portland. There is just something so incredibly warm and embracing about being with friends you only see at Convention. The city, the convention, the people. I was inspired. Phyllis Bigelson gave a speech about getting involved with the District. I talked with her about opportunities and by the time we landed back in LA I was involved in planning the next Convention.
This year, there were no flights, no hotel, but there was still lots of opportunities to learn and connect. Can’t wait to find my next Convention memory!
