Achshav Yisrael presents: The Story of Social Change in Israel with Shira Ben-Sasson Furstenberg
SEE EVENT DETAILS
As Israel celebrates 70 years of independence this year, we have many reasons to take pride in the countryís diversity. Israeli society is made up of people from a multiplicity of backgrounds and life paths. But the voices and stories of all Israelis are not equally represented in the public discourse. From Mizrahi Jews to Palestinian citizens of Israel, Ethiopian-Israelis and Russian-speaking immigrants, women and LGBTQ people, minority communities have fought for inclusion, equality, and social change.
Join us for a conversation about diversity, access to equal rights, and democratic values in Israel today with Shira Ben-Sasson Furstenberg. Shira was director of the Masorti Movementís Jewish Pluralism Watch and the Jewish Federations of North Americaís Religious Expression Platform. She is currently Associate Director of the New Israel Fund in Israel and lives in Jerusalem with her family.
