Watch the fascinating documentary film "Sustainable Nation" that follows three Israeli innovators who are taking valuable lessons learned from Israel’s water shortage to the rest of the world.

Join the conversation on Zoom on Sunday, November 15th at 12:00 noon with Omer Bar, an Israeli water engineer who works at Shafdan, Israel’s largest wastewater treatment plant.

Israel leads the world in recycling 85% of its waste water for use in irrigation in the desert. In 2017, Omer participated in an IsraAid emergency delegation to Dominica, an island country in the Caribbean Sea, which suffered greatly from a hurricane disaster.

Send in your RSVP to get the link to the film and to join the conversation, by emailing [email protected]!
