WHERE:
Kaplen JCC on the Palisades, 411 East Clinton Avenue, Tenafly
ADMISSION: Free and Open to the Community

Dr. Eric Mandel, a world expert on Middle Eastern policy, will discuss the legacy of the Balfour Declaration and the Six Day War and why the historical lessons they represent are as important for Israel today as they were 50 and 100 years ago respectively. Despite the miraculous growth and flourishing of the Jewish State over the last 70 years, the same powerful questions as to how America and the world relates to a Jewish State has not been resolved. Dr. Mandel will explore what the specific challenges for Israel are, and what decisions America needs to face in presenting a foundational deal to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
