JEICOR to host talk on Israeli elections, future of Israel

On the eve of the Israeli elections, JEICOR invites the Rossmoor community to attend its fall speaker event, featuring Dr. Michael Harris, on Monday, Oct. 5 at 3 p.m. in the Fireside Room at Gateway. He has titled his talk “The Making of a Coalition and the Future of the State of Israel.”

Harris is one of the founders of San Francisco Voice for Israel, an organization established in 2004 to respond to anti-Israel demonstrations, and provide education to the public and media responses to San Francisco area anti-Israel groups. Harris continues with this work, as a lay leader with the international education and advocacy organization, Stand With Us, and with San Francisco Voice for Israel, and has reported on television and radio as a local spokesperson for these two groups.

Harris has spoken about Israel at synagogues, churches, senior centers, and to political groups, as well as standing up for Israel against anti-Israel demonstrators on the streets of the Bay Area. His book, “Winning a Debate With an Israel Hater,” was first published in October 2015, with a second edition in November 2018.

In his spare time, Harris was a pediatrician in Marin County, but he is now happily retired and living in Sonoma County.

There will be light refreshments offered at this event, and there will be a Q&A after the talk.
