A B’nai B’rith leadership delegation met privately at United Nations headquarters in New York with Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who assumed office only three weeks ago.

The delegation members conveyed to the secretary-general B'nai B'rith's best wishes and readiness to partner closely on the advancement of the U.N.'s founding principles. They discussed a variety of priority concerns, particularly a long history of hostile and inequitable treatment for Israel at the world body, Middle East peacemaking, Iranian involvement in illicit nuclear activity and terrorism and the scourge of global anti-Semitism.

The group, led by B’nai B’rith International President Gary P. Saltzman and CEO Daniel S. Mariaschin, also included Senior Vice President Sheila Mostyn, B’nai B’rith International Center for Human Rights and Public Policy Chairman Charles Kaufman, Council on U.N. Affairs Chairman Michael Nachman, Director of U.N. and Intercommunal Affairs David Michaels and B’nai B’rith young leader Jason Langsner. B'nai B'rith also included several representatives of other major Jewish communal institutions in the meeting.

Continuing my contributor posts on U.S.-Israel Affairs in Newsmax, I published my latest op-ed piece today on an AP report.  Read, "In Perplexing Move, US Approves Natural Uranium for Iran."

Following the passing of UN Resolution 2334, I asked the question "Have Israel's UN Roots Become Weeds?" in my Newsmax contributor column on U.S.-Israel Affairs.

In my previous column for Newsmax I hypothesized how Israel-Americans may tip the scales in Florida.  So I followed up on that idea in my latest U.S.-Israel affairs column, "Florida's Jewish Vote Critical on Election Day."

The U.S. Presidential Election is two months out and after reading a number of articles in Israeli media, I began to ask myself how and if "Israeli-Americans Could Tip Florida This November."

I have been invited to be a contributor to Newsmax on U.S.-Israel Affairs.  Read my first column, "Where's the Uproar Over the Iran Payments?"

Looking forward to share my thoughts on Israel with a new readership base.

My latest Times of Israel op-ed, "9 words Obama said at the DNC" discusses the narrative of a comment on the Iran Deal made by President Obama during his DNC speech.

Returning from an Israel Bonds Leadership Delegation to Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, I posted my first opinion editorial to Washington Jewish Week. 

Read the op-ed, "A Bond with Israel and the Washington Jewish community."

I published my first op-ed in Haaretz in response to another piece by Simone Zimmerman who wrongly assumed we Jewish millennials speak with one voice on Israel and 'the occupation.' But when she avoids speaking about Palestinian terror, and of Israel’s desire for peace, she doesn’t speak for me.

Read, "Not All Jewish Millennials Are Angry With Israel. Some of Us Are Proud."

Watch my interview with the Israel Video Network on the "Inspired by Israel" video contest.  I submitted the only animation submission.
