Using Israel's Economic Powerhouse to Meet Global Challenges

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of our Congregation’s founding and Israel’s independence, Agudas Achim Congregation will host a dialogue on how Israel can leverage its economic power to become a significant player in meeting global challenges. Can Israel’s leadership position in technology and innovation become as important as military superiority in helping Israel dictate her own future? What can U.S. Jewry do to support/enhance Israel's economic success and positive world stature?

Speakers:
Dr. Mitchell Bard (Executive Director American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise) is a leading authority on U.S.-Middle East policy.
Professor Gal Raz (Darden School of Business, UVA) is an expert on Israeli technological innovations and worldwide commercialization.

The speakers’ presentations will be followed by discussion and an opportunity for questions. Light refreshments will be served at the conclusion of the event. All are invited, free of charge, donations suggested.
