Following Israel’s fifth national election in 3-and-a-half years, join Shoresh Institution president, Professor Dan Ben-David, one of Israel’s leading economists, for an eye-opening, big-picture, perspective of the domestic root (shoresh) challenges posing existential threats in the long-run.
The talk is modeled on briefings that Prof. Ben-David regularly provides Israel’s top leadership from across the political spectrum, as well as to key opinion shapers and organizations.
A selection of Israeli wines and appetizers will be served!
About the Shoresh Institution:
The Shoresh Institution, whose name is derived from the Hebrew word for ‘root,’ is Israel’s only independent, non-partisan, socioeconomic policy think-tank whose sole raison d’être is its focus on the source, and long-term implications of Israel’s internal, existential long-run socioeconomic challenges. The Shoresh Institution provides evidence-based analyses—essential for strategic perspectives and transformative policies at the national level—to Israel’s leading policymakers and the general public to assist in moving the country towards a sustainable long-term trajectory that raises Israel’s living standards while reducing disparity among its citizens.
