Save the date and join your Wilshire Boulevard Temple friends to celebrate Israel’s 62nd birthday. David Makovsky, the Ziegler distinguished Fellow and Director of the Project on the Middle East Peace Process at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, will highlight The Myths and Illusions of Making Peace. He is the co-author, along with Dennis Ross, of Myths, Illusions and Peace: Finding a New Direction for America in the Middle East. You may know Makovsky from his years as an award winning journalist, from his years as the executive editor of the Jerusalem Post, or his role as a contributing editor to US News and World Report. Israel Independence Day Israel Bonds chair, Lara Kaplan and her dynamic committee will shape this engaging event.

“Ross and Makovsky are superb guides to the political bazaar known as the Middle East. Myths, Illusions and Peace sheds new light on old dilemmas, at a moment when fresh approaches to the Middle East are urgently needed, widely desired and genuinely possible.” - Madeleine K. Albright, US Secretary of State, 1997-2001
