organizational experts and community-based sectors in Israel and New

competency that has developed in these two dynamic and
diverse societies. We likewise intend this exchange to be used as a
tool that will lead to the advancement of this field of endeavor and
the ability of societies to meet the opportunities presented by
diversity not only in Israel and the New York but internationally.

minds dealing with this important issue in Israel, the United States
