Dr. Emanuele Ottolenghi

Our last event on April 25th, 2013, featured Dr. Emanuele Ottolenghi's lecture, "A Sea of Troubles: The Current Disarray in the Middle East".

Two videos are available from that fascinating evening - his main talk and the following Q&A.

Dr. Mordechai KedarOur January 27, 2013 event with Dr. Mordechai Kedar, distinguished scholar of Arabic literature, lecturer at Bar Ilan U in Israel talking about the recent elections in Israel proved very successful in analysing and providing an explanation for the unexpected voting pattern results in Israel. You can watch the videos here: the first video is his lecture and the second, the Q and A – the latter is interesting in explaining why Israelis were more interested in their social needs than security...for this event we partnered with CIJR and Temple Sinai.
 
Our previous event, Thursday November 22 with Dr. Stanley Urman from New York (below), was very successful and well-attended with a very active Q and A. Dr. Urman discussed the serious issue of mass violations of human rights, persecution and violence against over 800,000 Jews who were expelled from their homes in Arab countries and Iran after 1947. There were Jewish refugees as well as the Palestinian refugees created in the Middle East which has been ignored by the international community. View some video of his talk at our Business Lunch Lecture series.

Our thanks to our many attendees who have responded so favourably to our events. A recent event featured Dr. Barry Rubin speaking to us from Israel, and was introduced by Lawrence Solomon below.
