Israel’s Next Government: Election Wrap-up

December 3, 2022 @ 11:30 am - 12:30 pm

IN-PERSON & VIRTUAL
Israel’s Next Government: Election Wrap-up
Saturday, December 3 at 11.30 a.m. (IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING SHABBAT MORNING SERVICE)

IRAC speaker Orly Erez Likhovsky

Together with Orly Erez-Likhovsky, the director of IRAC (the Israel Religious Action Centre), we’ll discuss Israel’s most recent elections and the challenges and opportunities posed by the coalition forming to lead Israel’s next Knesset.

Following our Shabbat morning service, we’ll share lunch and conversation, and grapple together with the impact of the current political climate on our sister congregation in Israel, and the Israeli Movement for Progressive Judaism.

Orly is the successor to Anat Hoffman, and has served as an attorney at IRAC since 2004, as Director of the Legal Department from 2014-2021, and Director of IRAC since 2021. Orly has brought about significant legal achievements such as making gender segregation on public transportation illegal, ending the Orthodox monopoly on state-funded salaries to rabbis, filing (and winning) the first ever class-action suit regarding exclusion of women, and disqualifying racist candidates from running to Israel’s parliament.

Please note: This program will take the place of this week’s Chevrat Torah Study.
