Sunday morning Israeli speaker series!

This exciting monthly series is modeled after CNS's Sunday morning programs.  We have solicited Israeli speakers to talk briefly about their life  and studies in Israel and give an informal lecture in their area of expertise.   We are fortunate to have lectures covering a variety of fields:  law,  social and environmental issues, literature, and performing arts.  

The series will meet Sundays 10:15 - 11:45 starting on October 14, meeting the second Sunday of the month in 2012 and the first Sunday of the month in 2013. 

Upcoming talks:

November 11. Judicial review in Israel. Professor Barak Medina, Faculty of Law at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Distinguished Visiting Professor of Israeli Law, Economy, and Society at UC Berkeley Law School.

December 9. Green settlement? The politics of environmentalism in Israel past and future. Miri Lavi-Neeman, doctoral candidate, environmental politics, Department of Geography, UC Berkeley
