The Backstory: Behind What you Know About Israel (Ottawa)
Due to circumstances beyond our control, this event in Ottawa has been cancelled. We are rescheduling our events in Ottawa for later this fall. New Israel Fund of Canada apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
For every action in Israel, there is a social, economic and political impact. From the individual to the masses, who is affected by Israel's changing priorities? Join us and our guest speakers as we uncover the backstories behind Israeli events, and help us celebrate New Israel Fund of Canada's 30th anniversary.
The Annual Shira Herzog Symposium is a free event.
