Hillel’s Eric Fingerhut Withdraws From J Street Conference
Hillel’s Eric Fingerhut Withdraws From J Street Conference.
The announcement was the Mr. Fingerhut withdrew from speaking entirely.
I believe this is a very unfortunate decision and a missed opportunity to engage a substantial number of our young people who are engaged in a serious relationship with Israel. Mr. Erekat’s appearance is neither an endorsement of his personal point of view nor that of the Palestinian Authority. But his appearance before JStreet is an act of courage on the parts of JStreet and Mr. Erekat. Hillel International is an important voice in the conversation. Mr. Fingerhut would have espoused an important viewpoint that the attendees should have heard. It is a shame they will not.
Shabbat Shalom
It has been a busy week.
But now it is time to put stuff away and prepare for Shabbat.
Wishing everyone a Shabbat Shalom~
