Meeting the Challenge:
Israel as Jewish and Democratic State
Presented by New Israel Fund of Canada 
  

Like Canada, Israel is a democratic state, committed to human dignity and freedom. Israel is also a Jewish state, tied with roots in a distinct tradition. How do Jewish values strengthen democracy today? Where is there tension? As a vibrant and dynamic society, Israel is grappling with this duality everywhere.

Israel's Policy Priorities in the Changing Middle East
  

Israeli Consul General D.J. Schneeweiss


 

on Wednesday, October 2, 2013
7:30 p.m. at Holy Blossom Temple

Co-Sponsored by ARZA Canada

 

With the Middle East once again monopolizing headlines in the news, it's difficult to assess the impacts on Israel.

 

The civil war already raging in Syria threatens to expand further beyond its borders, and with it the risk of chemical weapons falling into the wrong hands.  The conflict in Egypt risks becoming civil war.  And, with this background of regional instability, Israel and the Palestinians are attempting

to negotiate peace.  As the cloud of a nuclear Iran still looms overhead. Certainly

we need someone to help us to see the key factors and trends re-shaping the region

and what that will mean to Israel.
