The next SH’MA Listen! Speaker Series – Israel Edition event will feature Gershom Gorenberg, author and senior correspondent for The American Prospect and columnist for Haaretz, who will discuss the development of Israeli democracy and policies that might undermine it, and will discuss what can be done to preserve and renew the Israeli republic. 

The event, presented by Jewish Federation of St. Louis and the Saul Brodsky Jewish Community Library, takes place at 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 16 at the Jewish Federation Kopolow Building, 12 Millstone Campus Drive.
