Engaging with Israel
“We joined BAI in 1985 and were always either board members or committee members. As an Israeli, it was clear that my biggest contribution to the community I love and respect should be the sharing of my Israeli culture, my Israeli experience, my Hebrew, and most of all my love for Israel. Participating and sometimes leading the Israel Affairs Committee at BAI was a natural outcome. I do it with great pleasure and I am always delighted to know that the BAI members enjoy and benefit from our events and projects. Am Israel Chai-we are alive forever!”
Adam Wishkovsky, Members since 1985
