Israel Briefing 3 with James Marlow: The race to be the Jewish Agency’s new chair

In this special Israel Briefing number 3, Jonny Gould’s Jewish State Israel Correspondent, James Marlow joins us to talk about the race to become the next Jewish Agency chair. The Jewish Agency is the bridge between the diaspora and Israel and prospective candidates are keener than ever to build and sustain relationships between Jews at home and abroad. You’ll hear the latest from James as the race hots up and from two frontrunners for Israel’s most important job behind that of the country’s President and Prime Minister. Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem, Fleur Hassan Nahoum and His Excellency Michael Oren, Israel’s ambassador to the United States from 2009 to 2013. Isaac Herzog stepped down as chairman in July 2021 to be sworn in as the 11th president of the State of Israel. Support Jonny Gould’s Jewish State here. Learn more about your ad choices.
