More than 400 Jewish community leaders from around the world gathered in Buenos Aires from 15-17 March, as the WJC held a special session of its Plenary Assembly, the organization’s highest decision-making body. Argentina’s President Mauricio Macri delivered a keynote speech at the opening event of the assembly, and Paraguay’s President Horacio Cartés was awarded the Latin American Jewish Congress’ Shalom Prize for his support for Israel.
