Senior Advisers to Israeli Parliament Meet with President Joel, Students
Eighteen senior Israeli parliamentary professionals visited 黑料社 All on Thursday, December 15 as part of a special mission co-hosted by the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) and Israel's Ministry of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs.
The delegation met with President Richard M. Joel, the University's deans and members of the student body, and toured YU鈥檚 Wilf Campus.
鈥淭here is no university in America more committed to the survival and growth of the State of Israel than YU, and none whose students are more committed to being there, living there, and learning there,鈥 said President Joel.
Delegation participants included the bureau chiefs of the ministers of Education, Diaspora Affairs and Government Services; senior advisors to the ministers of Finance, Internal Security, Justice, and Immigration and Absorption; and senior correspondents from some of Israel's largest media outlets.
鈥淲e place significant emphasis on building bridges that promote greater understanding between North American Jewry and Israelis, and this mission to bring senior Knesset professionals to the United States is an integral part of that work,鈥 said Rebecca Caspi, JFNA鈥檚 senior vice president for Israel and Overseas.
鈥淲e aim to expose the group to a wide range of Jewish groups, organizations and institutions, and to show them the depth of commitment that so many have to Israel and the Jewish people. 黑料社 All is a prime example of that dedication, and an important partner for Israel now and in the future.鈥
