Weekly Newsletters

Dear Friends,
 
Ever since the shocking, lingering and deep trauma of October 7th, many of us are trying to educate ourselves as best we can of the latest and arguably most egregious impasse in Israel-Palestinian relations. We’ve accessed major TV networks and social media to make informed choices. 
 
For example, just last week I watched a fascinating Zoom interview facilitated by Jason Holtzman, Director of the Jewish Community Relations Council. His guest was retired IDF Colonel Grisha Yakubovich who provided an incredibly informative, riveting and compelling assessment of the current situation in Israel. Perhaps some of you also saw the interview! 
 
Colonel Yakubovich has very kindly agreed to “return” to our area for an exclusive Zoom appearance for our congregation this Sunday 29th at 3:00pm EST. It will be my honor to interview him and include your questions too. 
 
He concluded his military service in 2016 as the head of the civil department for the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (C.O.G.A.T.) and currently serves as a policy and strategy consultant to various international NGO's.
 
Colonel Yakubovich has more than thirty years of first-hand experience initiating and implementing high level cooperation projects between Israelis and Palestinians in the public and private sectors.
 
I look forward to having you join me for this special, timely and important program.
