HED-60 – postponement
Shalom Chaverim,
Given the overall awful situation on all fronts in Israel and the fact that the HED 60 session was going to be one day before a day that will forever live in infamy in modern Jewish and Zionist history, we have decided to postpone the session on the American Elections, even though their outcome will be absolutely critical for the region and world Jewry.
We are working to hold a session on November 24th after the fateful November 5th elections and needless to say the direction and tone of that discussion will be very different depending on the outcome.
We think of our chaverim in Israel everyday and pray for your well being.
Shana Tova Umetukah to you all.
