What participants say about previous P&P retreats:
“I can honestly say I have never attended any event where I was so instantly emotionally invested, as well as intellectually stimulated, in or outside of YPO. I am having difficulty trying to explain to my wife the intensity and magic of this week, and am failing dramatically. I am doing a good enough job however that she really wishes she had/wants to attend next time!” (USA)
-----
"I was blown away. If this could be repeated every year it would be a miracle." (Mexico)
-----
"London was a dream. I felt so much at home amongst so many wonderful people, for once we were all a strong majority.
I will not state all successful events one by one but the Dinearounds were great, forums brought us closer together and Rav Lord Sacks was from another spiritual dimension, seeing where Montefiore sat in Bevis Marks synagogue thrilled us. Congratulations, what a great idea!" (Turkey)
-----
"Coming from Israel, the subject of antisemitism was very interesting, as I don't feel it here as a day to day experience. It was a real learning for me to hear the perspective coming from the Jewish community in the US." (Israel)
-----
“I felt honoured being part of this inaugural group… It was so lovely meeting all the participants and making new friends and contacts. We can’t wait for next year. It was especially enriching to meet and listen to Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks. The whole event was so educational, inspiring, fun, lovely photos and memories to look back.” (Netherlands)
-----
“I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for having allowed me to share in this life-changing experience... its a journey that I hope I can only help build upon… you should know that you are doing something very special for the Jewish people globally, by bringing together those who care, those who can influence, and those who will do.” (USA)
