Program Focuses on Mideast Peace
As part of an ongoing education program about the Middle East peace process, “Israel Today: Give Peace a Chance” will be the topic of the Friday Shabbat service at University Synagogue, 4915 Alton Parkway in Irvine. The service begins at 8 p.m.
Rabbi Arnold Rachlis will discuss the recent Israeli elections and the victory of Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Rachlis said he hopes the dialogue--including a question-and-answer period--will help build support locally among the Jewish community for recent peace overtures by Barak.
“I think [Barak’s] victory is a wonderful opportunity to get things jump-started today,” he said. “This is the second real chance for peace in 50 years.”
