BK member, Mark Seal, is wonderfully suited to address this complex topic. His connection with Israel is a long and passionate one. He is a founding member of Kibbuttz Gezer, and has been involved with Americans for Peace Now (APN) for over 20 years, as board member and treasurer. He is an officer of Meretz, USA and Chair of the Habonim Dror Foundation. Mark will facilitate a discussion on the different meanings of Israel as a Jewish state, and Annapolis peace talks.
