This month’s Great Decisions Discussion Group will respond to the chapter on Israel and the U.S.  Modern Israel’s struggles with the Palestinians have turned what was meant as a safe haven for Jews into the center of a decades-long conflict.  The U.S. has stepped in as Israel’s ally due to the two countries’ shared values, providing years of unparalleled military and diplomatic support.  But now those ties are being tested.  This month’s speaker is Henry Berman, a retired associate of Ecolab Inc. in St Paul, where he had a 34 year career, working in both domestic and global markets.  He has strong personal ties to the Middle East and is a frequent visitor to the Region.  He is particularly interested in the politics of this volatile area.  He has a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Hamilton College and Masters in Business Administration from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College.  This event is for members who have signed up for Great Decisions 2014 and is hosted by Pamela and Robert Berkwitz.
