The First Druze Emissary for the Jewish Agency for Israel with special guest Gadeer Kamal-Mreeh
Monday, March 28, from 6.30 p.m. to 7.15 p.m.
As we work towards strengthening our Jewish communal connection to Israel, we welcome Israeli Druze politician and journalist, Gadeer Kamal-Mreeh. Gadeer’s history of breaking barriers will offer a unique perspective and dynamic conversation.
Born to a Druze family in the village of Daliyat al-Karmel on Mount Carmel, Kamal-Mreeh served as the first Druze woman to anchor a Hebrew-language news program on Israeli television, the first female Druze member of Israel’s legislature, and now, as the first Druze to serve as an Israeli emissary for the Jewish Agency. Kamal-Mreeh balances national and local responsibilities to forge meaningful connections between Israel and world Jewry.
In partnership with UJA’s ShinShinim
