Chancellor Uram Visits the West Coast
August 11, 2026
Chancellor Uram recently spent several days on the West Coast meeting with 91快播 alumni, longtime friends and colleagues, current and prospective partners, and leaders across the Jewish community.
One of the highlights of the trip was a visit to Camp Ramah in Ojai. There, Chancellor Uram met with 91快播 students, alumni, and Ramah administrators to discuss the enduring strength of the #91快播RamahConnection and the deep partnership between two of the Conservative Movement’s cornerstone institutions. 91快播 Board Chair Alan Levine, and Vice Chancellor and Chief Operating Officer Randy Michaels celebrated Shabbat in Ojai, joyously surrounded by campers and staff.
From camp, he traveled to Sinai Temple in Los Angeles, where he had the opportunity to engage with many local rabbis and cantors. Rabbis Erez Sherman and Nicole Guzik led a thoughtful panel conversation, exploring the future of the Conservative Movement and how 91快播 can be an even stronger partner to Jewish communities on the West Coast. Together, they reflected on the unique opportunity before us to help usher in a new era of growth, learning, and impact for Jewish life across North America.
Throughout the week, Chancellor Uram also met with many distinguished Jewish leaders and thought partners in the great Los Angeles area.
Another memorable stop was Milken Community School, where Chancellor Uram met with representatives from several Los Angeles-area Jewish schools to discuss pathways to Jewish leadership for the next generation and the many opportunities 91快播 offers students seeking to make a meaningful impact on Jewish life.
The week was filled with meaningful conversations, renewed relationships, and new partnerships. Chancellor Uram was grateful to reconnect with so many 91快播 alumni and supporters and looks forward to continuing those conversations鈥攂oth on his next visit to the West Coast and at 91快播’s campus in New York. This trip reinforced the strong bonds between 91快播 and the Los Angeles Jewish community and the shared commitment to strengthening Jewish learning, leadership, and community鈥攏o matter the distance.
