Joe Federman will speak about the "State of Israeli/American Jewish Affairs - After the Elections" - via ZOOM

Join us as Joe Federman, AP Bureau Chief supervising coverage of Israel and the Palestinian territories, gives a balanced view on the state of affairs between our countries, as viewed from an independent journalist based in Israel, after the elections in both the US and Israel.

Our speaker grew up in Westborough, Mass. and made his first trip to Israel in 1983 on a NFTY tour, a decision he is pretty sure his mother now regrets. He went to Clark University in Worcester and has a master's in international affairs and Middle East studies from Columbia University. He has worked for the Associated Press in Charleston, West Virginia and New York City, in addition to spending four years at The Wall Street Journal. He returned to the Associated Press in Jerusalem in 2003 and has been there ever since. He has gone on assignments to Rome, the Hague, London, Cairo, Beirut, Amman and across Israel and the Palestinian territories. Currently, he is the news director for the Associated Press in Jerusalem, overseeing coverage of Israel, the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Jordan. Despite the time away and long distance, he remains a proud and active member of Red Sox Nation.
