Talk Israel: Join the Conversation
The CJL was chosen by Hillel International as one of 20 campuses in North America to host Talk Israel: Join the Conversation, an open forum to promote open and respectful communication about issues surrounding the Middle East. Talk Israel hopes to fosters dialogue about the changing landscape of the Middle East, seeking to recapture the public space by creating a welcoming venue that addresses the challenges ahead and stresses civil dialogue and inquiry.
