If you're in need of some helpful, possibly hopeful discussion around Israel, please ​join J Street's Alan Elsner ​and Havurah members ​for a discussion ​about​ the American Jewish community’s response to the election of Trump and how to respond to the new administration's appointments, especially his reckless nominee for US Ambassador to Israel. We'll talk, strategize and support each other. ​

Alan Elsner has had a long career at the top ranks of American and international journalism prior to joining J Street. As White House correspondent for Reuters News Agency, Elsner traveled the world with Secretaries of State​. His sharp questioning during the Rwanda genocide forced the United States to change its policy and was later highlighted in the Hollywood movie “Hotel Rwanda.” As Reuters National Correspondent, Elsner was the agency’s chief writer on 9/11/2001.

​Please join Havurah and J Street Portland for an informative and helpful evening. RSVP below if you can come.
