Featured Speaker

Haviv Rettig Gur is an Israeli journalist who serves as the senior analyst at The Times of Israel. He has covered Israeli politics, the country’s foreign and regional policies, and its relationship with the Jewish diaspora. He has reported from over 20 countries on the issues of the day. He is fluent in Hebrew and English, and lectures in Israel and abroad on Israeli society and history, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and more. He served as director of communications for the Jewish Agency for Israel, Israel’s largest NGO, and was an early advocate and lobbyist for SpaceIL, working to advance science and space education through the construction and launch of an Israeli spacecraft. He teaches about the intersection of journalism, history and politics at prestigious Israeli premilitary academies.
Named for Israel’s famed biblical King Solomon who was revered for his wisdom, The Associated’s Solomon Society recognizes men (in households?) who make a leadership gift of $10,000 or more to the Annual Campaign. The Solomon Society provides a collegial forum for men to gather for educational, spiritual and social programs while helping to advance community objectives through their philanthropy and service in leadership positions.
