A dialogue among:

Moderated by:

• Kathleen Peratis, Board member emerita, Human Rights Watch

Join us for a compelling dialogue between our three panelists on the issue of Israel, Zionism and Human Rights. Our three speakers; a prominent Israeli, Palestinian and American Jew, will reflect on how Israel and Zionism has lived up to and/or fallen short of the vision of the founders of Israel to create a Jewish State based on the Prophetic teachings of "Justice, Freedom and Peace." Can we reclaim a Zionism that is dedicated to the human rights of all? How can we help to fulfill the dream of an Israel that fulfills the prophetic teachings of Judaism?
