The Men's Club collaborated with the Israel Engagement Committee from our synagogue in planning this program.
A full breakfast buffet was followed by an introduction of AIPAC by local chairman and temple member Don Gershman followed by remarks by AIPAC Boston Regional coordinator. The objective was to inform attendees on what AIPAC is all about. An exceptional documentary film “Israel Inside" was purchased and licenced: How a Small Nation Makes a Big Difference” was then shown. Unlike other documentaries on Israel that focus on political issues, this movie focused on the various things that people have been able to accomplish. An additional collaborative effort was in partnering with the Jewish Federation of Greater Hartford who sponsored the funding of this movie. The program concluded with a discussion with Amit Gavish, a Jerusalem native and General Manager of Briefcam, an Israeli technology company based in Connecticut. Amit prepared and shared new insite into Isreals creative enterprenial sprit. Amit shared some insite into Isreals secret service and some missions he ran while in the IDF. Attendees were blown away by the content, impact and new insite recieved at one program. Many atendees came up to us afterward sharing that this was the best program that they had ever attended. Questions and answers lasted 40 minutes with our quests speakers.
