Beit Avi Chai presents "Israeli Democracy-a Snapshot": An event marking Yitzhak Rabin Memorial Day.
Wednesday, November 9, 8 PM
What is the state of Israeli democracy? Is it really in danger, as some claim, or do the variety of its voices testify to its strength? Is the Supreme Court the last bastion of democracy, or is it an ivory tower, oblivious and insensitive to the nation's true wishes? Is the combination of "Judaism and democracy" realizable or is it a powder keg waiting to explode at any moment?
Journalist Dana Weiss leads three discussions on the topic.
With:
MK Zehava Galon (Meretz) and Prof. Yedidia Z. Stern, the Israel Democracy Institute
MK Ze'ev Elkin (Likud), Coalition Chairman; and Dr. Alex Jacobson, Department of History, Hebrew University
A discussion with Moshe Negbi, legal affairs commentator on Kol Yisrael, about media, truth, power, and government
In conjunction with the Israel Democracy Institute
Admission free, subject to available space; tickets available starting at 7 PM
