Arab Women's Leadership and Shared Society in Israel

Amal Elsana Alh'jooj, founder of AJEEC-NISPED — the largest Arab-Jewish NGO in the Negev — and faculty member at McGill University, spoke at American Jewish communities and Hillel groups on campuses as part of a a week-long tour to discuss women's leadership, social change in Israel's Bedouin society, and working towards stronger Jewish-Arab relations in Israel.
