Oct 11 2010 6:00pm - 7:30pm -

 

It's rare that American audiences get to meet Israeli lay leaders, particularly Arab and Jewish

coexistence activists, unless they travel to Israel. Please join us to hear from three dynamic

Israeli advocates - Jewish, Muslim, and Christian - as they discuss their perspectives on

what many consider Israel's most critical domestic issue: the challenge of realizing a shared

society for all of Israel's citizens. They'll speak to their feelings, why they are personally

involved, their visions for achieving success, and how they feel about prospects for the future.
