Nachum welcomed Malcolm Hoenlein, Executive Vice Chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, back to JM in the AM this morning for the Weekly Update. Nachum and Malcolm began this week’s live Update with an appreciative look the value placed on Yom Kippur in the State of Israel and how that will manifest over the Holiday, which begins tonight at sundown. They covered a number of other timely issues including: President Obama’s actions and statements in recent weeks toward Syria, the current Russia-Syria connection, the Jewish leadership response to action against Syria, Israel’s political reaction to activity in Syria, rioting at the Kotel on Rosh Hashanah, and much more.

Nachum and Malcolm reminded everyone that the Conference of Presidents 50th Anniversary Tribute Gala is coming up on October 15, 2013, at the Waldorf Astoria. Make your reservations today!
