Jeremy Ben Ami Speaks about "A New Voice for Israel" January 12, 2012

The Center for Jewish Life and Learning at the Addison Penzak JCC presents:
Jeremy Ben-Ami of J Street
"A New Voice for Israel: Fighting for the Survival of the Jewish Nation"

Thursday, January 12th | 7:30pm
at Congregation Shir Hadash
20 Cherry Blossom Lane, Los Gatos.

As the likelihood of a two-state solution in Israel and Palestine recedes, many Americans are growing frustrated with the hard-line, unquestioning stance of traditional Israel advocates, yet remain pro-Israel and want to ensure its future security.

Jeremy Ben-Ami, founder of the new political action committee J Street, will discuss how our current policies towards Israel are largely based on a handful of assumptions that do not hold up against the current realities. Ben-Ami will discuss his belief that there is an urgent need for a pro-Israel agenda that includes compromise and engagement with the opposition.

Jeremy Ben-Ami is the founder and president of J Street and boasts a 25-year career in government, politics, and communications and served as President Bill Clinton’s deputy domestic policy adviser.

Free and open to the public.
