Adina Vogel Ayalon – an Israeli citizen who has lived and raised a family in Israel and worked for decades toward building peaceful relations between Israelis and Palestinians – and Rabbi Wes Gardenswartz are uniquely positioned to unpack some of the difficult questions facing our communities today, including:

• How can American Jews most effectively advocate to bring about the return of the hostages, sideline Hamas and promote a peaceful and safe future for Israeli and Palestinian families alike?
• What constitutes anti-semitism on campus and how can we best combat it?
• How should our community encourage the US government to address Iran’s nuclear ambitions and support of terrorism throughout the region?
• How would the creation of a Palestinian state alongside Israel affect Israel’s security?
