June has been a history-making month in Israel with the election of a new president and the resolution of a political stalemate that has led to the country’s first change in leadership in 12 years.
The fast-moving events have many of us struggling to understand the implications — for Israel, its relationship with other countries, and for Jews around the world.
Join us as we welcome renowned Israeli political expert, Professor Reuven Hazan. Speaking to us live from Jerusalem, Professor Hazan will help us better understand the political upheaval and introduce us to the key players and goals of the new coalition government that has replaced longtime leader, Benjamin Netanyahu. Professor Hazan will be joined by Aviva Klompas, Associate Vice President of CJP’s Israel and Global Jewish Citizenship.
A Zoom link will be provided prior to event.
