In an article on Yahoo, I saw mention of an upcoming event called the 2015 URJ North American Biennial. It caught my eye so I decided to look it up and see what it meant.
After a quick google search, I found their website, and learned that it's the Union for Reform Judaism North American conference that takes place every other year.
The event itself, often referred to as just "the biennial," is a culmination or gathering of all kinds of Jews throughout the country who desire to come together to learn about their movement and enjoy all sorts of entertainment. Dancing, singing, prayer, and meals are all part of the event which also helps Jews from around the country come together to make decisions about the policies of the Reform movement.
There are speakers and guests from all over the world and within all types of professions, this year the "headliner" is the Vice President of the United States - Joe Biden.
This year, the event will be November 4th-8th in Orlando, Florida.
