H3 is the annual shot in the arm needed by every Jew in business who cares about his spirituality
Three years ago, ask a frum British fella in business to identify the industry’s high point and he’d probably have looked at you blank. Today, he wouldn’t blink. It’s H3. The annual one-day conference covering halachah, hashkafah, and hanhagah in business is jam-packed with hard-hitting workshops and a no-holds-barred look at the often challenging confluence of Jew and workplace.
For a conference that weds business with halachah, the location of this year’s London summit couldn’t have been more apt. The O2 Intercontinental Hotel sits right across the water from the headquarters of some of London’s most recognizable titans of commerce, business and banking: HSBC, Barclays, Citi, and the iconic Canary Wharf tower.
For the founder and chair of H3 in the UK, Reb Shaul Bodner, the mission is simple. “You make sure to tick your health and safety box, you’re careful about ticking your compliance box, and you’re right on top of your tax liabilities. But what about ticking the box of ensuring the Eibeshter is comfortable in your business, too?
“We were amazed to discover that the most dominant demographic among our attendees is the 25–35 age bracket,” says Mr. Bodner. “Here we have a new generation of young, frum men entering the business world — mainly straight out of kollel — grappling with thorny halachic and hashkafic issues. Questions around doing business with non-Jews, how to interact with females in the workplace, ribbis questions — these are all real life, daily issues. H3 is designed to address that.”
