ISRAEL POLITICS NOW

How does the Israeli electoral and political system work?

An "Introduction to Israeli Politics" or "Israeli Politics for Dummies" – the workings of Israeli politics can seem complicated – and not just for Israelis!

A grounding in Israel's internal political structure is vital to understanding Israel's actions in the international arena.

 

Israel Seminars' “ISRAEL POLITICS NOW” is a fun, dynamic, informative, interactive discussion program showing you the ins-and-outs of Israeli politics and provides you with a clear and comprehensive guide to Israel's complex electoral and parliamentary system.

 

"ISRAEL POLITICS NOW" looks at the big picture of Israel's political system, the parties and the players, the issues and opinions.

 

How do Israelis choose their leaders? What are the major issues?
Why so many parties? What do the parties stand for? Why coalitions?
What's on Israel's agenda? Who's who?

What are the alternatives being considered in terms of electoral reform? 

Get a grip on Israeli Politics!

"...we at the JCRC of Southern NJ in Cherry Hill, NJ are very excited about your upcoming Israeli election program.  We thought the program you conducted in March 2006 was very interesting, informative and the interactive element really got those in attendance involved in the discussions.  We are hoping you can make a return engagement to the Katz JCC this coming Feb..."
David Shevrin, Vice President, JCRC of Southern New Jersey

 

"Outstanding! This program was exactly what I needed to help me through the maze of Israeli politics. The visuals and interactive learning were phenomenal. I got more in one evening with Jeremy Maissel than I could have with a pile of books, magazines and news shows! Really outstanding!"
Lynne Eisenstein (Atlanta, GA) about "Election Reflections 2006" presented for Melitz
