A Coming Conflict or a War of Words?
Israel, Obama and Iran's Nuclear Program

The situation between Israel and Iran is one of the most potent in Israel's history. Jeffrey Goldberg's access at the highest levels of the Israeli and American governments have made him a go-to source for understanding this tricky three way relationship. The language from Netanyahu has been bellicose, Iran's tone dangerous, and the stakes enormously high. In addition to its potential danger to the Jewish state, the Iran situation poses difficult challenges for the United States as it navigates the complex challenges of how to use its power in the region, and how to navigate its changing relationship with Israel. Come join us as this leading national expert on the US-Israel relationship addresses one of the most critical issues facing Israel and the United States.
Suggested $10 donation to this event will help build the Scholar-in-Residence Fund.
We are honored to welcome Har HaShem congregant Congressman Jared Polis and U.S. Senator for Colorado Michael Bennet who will join us for this exciting morning.
