Major Economic Conference for Haredi Families Returns to Jerusalem

The "Plus Minus²" economic conference, described as the largest in the Haredi sector, is set to take place at Jerusalem's Binyanei Ha'uma on November 4, 2026. The event aims to provide Haredi families with tools and insights for managing their finances, featuring leading figures from Israel's capital markets and real estate sectors.

This year's conference, the second iteration, will be held with separate seating for men and women, respecting the community's customs while maintaining high content standards. The program begins at 4:45 PM with a gathering and dinner, concluding around 11:20 PM after a full schedule of lectures and panels. The event is organized by Plus Minus, a family economics initiative founded by Fishel Rosenfeld, in collaboration with the Hazira community, the Haredi real estate community, and the Union for Urban Renewal.

Distinguished speakers include Gilad Altshuler, Zvi Stepek, and Amir Eil, founders of major Israeli investment houses, who will participate in a panel discussion on the capital market. Tamir Mandobsky will discuss "10 Things I Learned About the Haredi Economy," Dudi Kapler will record a live podcast episode, and Eitan Azaria will address mental resilience. Real estate experts Moshe Hershler, Yaakov Reinitz, and Dan Keenan will also speak, alongside Plus Minus's "hive" of experts covering income generation, mortgages, real estate, insurance, and finance.

The conference program spans over 6.5 hours, covering topics from income and budgeting to savings, investments, housing, and insurance. Special sessions include a panel analyzing real families' financial portfolios and discussions on buying property versus waiting, and urban renewal projects. A unique segment will focus on mental resilience and financial consciousness.

Attendees will benefit from several product launches, including the "Plus Minus Experts Hive," a network of vetted professionals. VIP ticket holders will receive Tamir Mandobsky's new book, "To Marry with Honor," and the expert in increasing income's book, "The Multiplier," as gifts. Additionally, all attendees receive a 50% discount for six months on the Plus Minus financial management system. The event also features a premium dinner served at tables, with a menu from a leading Haredi catering company.

Last year's inaugural conference attracted 670 participants. This year, the organizers aim to host around 1,000 families at the larger venue. Ticket prices increase daily, with a special discount for couples. VIP tickets, priced at 360 NIS, include reserved seating and all benefits, valued at 451 NIS.
