Special Guest Speaker Zeidan Atashi

Shabbat Service, on Friday, October 21, 8:00 p.m.

Zeidan Atashi has a special place in the life of modern-day Israel and in its history. An Israeli Druze Arab, he became the first non-Jewish Israeli to hold a diplomatic post when he was appointed Consul and Head of Information Affairs at the Consulate General in New York. He served eight years in two different terms as a member of Knesset, and was a founding member of the Shinui party. His viewpoint and experience distinguish him from most other Israeli speakers. Be sure to join us for this important visit.
