President's Council Hosts Israeli Humanitarian Organization IsraAID's Founder

On September 24^th Bryan Ezralow, the new chair of the President’s Council, hosted breakfast  and a presentation at Hillcrest Country Club by Shachar Zahavi, Founder and Chairperson of IsraAID: The Israel Forum for International Humanitarian Aid. IsraAID shares in AJC’s mission to strengthen the basic principles of democracy and pluralism around the world through humanitarian assistance to people in need during times of international crisis. Attendees were impressed with Israelis’ acts of global tikkun olam but encouraged Mr. Zahavi to do more by better publicizing these humanitarian efforts in order to improve Israel’s global image. Mr. Zahavi also spoke that evening to the ACCESS/Young Leaders group at the Mandrake bar where attendees heard him speak about IsraAID's interventions in Darfur and Rwanda.
