The event will also feature an address from Dani Dayan, Consul General of Israel, who will share stories from many communities. 鈥淔or hundreds of years there existed a vibrant Jewish life in Arab countries where Jews were integral to all aspects of social life and rose to the highest positions in government and in business,鈥� said Dayan. 鈥淲ith the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, this historical Jewish presence was almost entirely erased. Each year the Israeli consulate marks the exodus of Jews from Arab countries together with the communities which carry on their traditions.鈥濃�� To RSVP or for more information, email revelevents@yu.edu.
