Congregation Beth Shalom of the Blue Hills to welcome Yuval Laster in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Arab-Israeli 6 Day War

Congregation Beth Shalom of the Blue Hills continues its Sunday Brunch Speaker Series on April 30th with guest speaker Yuval Laster, a Wexner Israel Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. His topic will be “Israel’s Well-Being and Sustainability,“ in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Arab-Israeli 6 Day War in June, 1967.
