SA Union of Jewish Students (SAUJS) national chair Ariela Carno (pictured) and national treasurer Natan Pollack are in Washington this week to attend the American Jewish Congress (AJC) from 11 to 14 May.
“This congress focuses on intercultural dialogue, democracy in action and Israel advocacy,” Carno told Jewish Report before leaving.
The keynote speakers include world renowned names such as Hilary Clinton, Senator John McCain and former UK and Commonwealth Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks.
Ariela and Natan’s goal in attending this conference, she said before leaving, “will be to forge international relationships and create programmes with new international partners.”
They are sure that this conference will be an eye-opening experience and as much as they look forward to sharing the South African perspectives with the world, they say they look forward to “bringing home the world’s perspectives to South Africa.”
Ariela has promised to give the community a report back on SAJR Online once they return. It promises to make an interesting read.
