Date: Wednesday October 17

Time: 5:00pm

Place: Shaffer 3

 

What are Romney and Obama's policies on Israel? How much will they each help Israel over the next term? What will they do to help the Middle East over the next four years? What about Iran? These are just some of the issues plaguing Jewish voters as they try to decide for whom to vote.

 

Join us this coming Wednesday, October 17th at 5pm for a special conversation with Professor Benjamin Ginsberg, PhD, an expert on American Government and Politics, and a member of our Political Science department here at JHU.

 

With less than a month until Election Day and both candidates pretty much tied in the polls, now is the time to discuss the issues important to us as Americans, but also, specifically as Jews in America.

 

Professor Ginsberg will give a short presentation followed by time for conversation-time for us to ask him questions as well as for him to ask us some of his own and moderate our conversations.
