Israel Community Partner Dan Ben David

Impact in Israel

Join us to learn more about two organizations that are making an impact on Israeli society. Our two speakers represent organizations in Israel supported by Jewish Federation. They will each share about the work they are doing, the challenges they are facing and the impact on Israeli lives.

Thursday, March 2 at 7 pm at Federation
Dan Ben David, president of the Shoresh Institution
Shoresh is an independent socioeconomic policy research institution whose sole raison d’être is to identify the source, nature and scope of Israel’s internal root (shoresh) existential challenges. The Shoresh Institution provides evidence-based analyses – essential for strategic perspectives and transformative policies at the national level – to Israel’s leading policymakers and the general public to assist in moving the country towards a sustainable long-term trajectory that raises Israel’s living standards while reducing disparity among its citizens. Dan will share examples of Shoresh’s evidence-based analyses that are helping to transform policies in a number of important areas in Israel.
