Speakers

We highly recommend considering one of these fantastic speakers as a first choice for your event as they have been carefully selected and are a limited resource.  In addition, we have a list of speakers who will be traveling to the US and available to speak but not on tour.

In addition, in 2009-2010 we will have 4 teams presenting:

Faces of Aliyah: A favorite for many years, these young, new olim from Russia and Ethiopia tell their stories of aliyah - and absorption in Israel through JAFI and UJC.

Faces of the Next Generation - Promising Futures: Both young olim and sabras showcase programs of JAFI/UJC where they are establishing themselves and their futures.

For information on these and all of our speakers, please visit our website at: www.ujcinteroffice.org/speakers or contact Nadine Schneider: 212-284-6543 nadine.schneider@ujc.org
