Approximately 75 people attended a reception and panel discussion at the Port of New Orleans on how politics in Israel and economics intersect, with a special focus on the April 2019 election in Israel. Moderated by Fox 8’s Lee Zurik, the panel featured Ambassador Yoram Ettinger (former Minister for Congressional Affairs at Israel’s Embassy in Washington), Dr. Leonary Ray (Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at Louisiana State University), Rabbi Reuven Spolter (Director of the Israel Ministry for Diaspora Affairs’ Amiel BaKehila program), and Guy Tessler (President of Connexx: America Israel Business Connector).
Thanks to our co-sponsors: Bank Leumi, the Port of New Orleans, and the World Trade Center New Orleans.
