The weather is gorgeous! And luckily so too is the hotel. For as you know often one is more indoors than outdoors at a convention. Well sometimes. ;)
The Fairmont Hotel is beautiful and the staff and rooms are lovely. The morning program that I participating in “Why Israeli Arabs Are a Jewish Issue” with Brian Lurie was excellent. Although not well attended, we experienced a thoughtful presentation and provocative discussion. The session’s theme was on how the Arab Israeli is treated, how they may feel and what our responsibility is towards them. We talked about the majority of Israeli-Arabs who wish to live in Israel and whether they understand their responsibility towards the State of Israel. Brian Lurie is a fantastic resource and his organization which I believe he said was the Inter-agency task force on Israeli Arabs seems like an organization worth learning more about. I think their website would be worth checking out. If I have time I will try to get more information before the convention ends.
Now off for a walk around the hotel to enjoy some of the beautiful weather!
