Dan
Gold will talk about Hillel and
their mission. Dan is the Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation Chair
and Executive Director for Hillel at UCLA. Dan is a subject matter expert on
Israel, the Middle East, antisemitism, and community relations, and his dynamic
and unique presentations on Modern Israel, Israel-Palestine, Mid-east
geopolitics, antisemitism and BDS have benefitted a wide range of audiences. He
believes that Israel advocacy is more about community organizing and personal
exploration than it is about debates or history lessons. Thus, he takes pride in
leading formal and informal sessions to help break down complicated realities
while also providing a safe space for all people to explore a wide range of
opinions.

oldest and largest service organization (founded in 1905).
