Nachum interviewed Malcolm Hoenlein, Executive Vice Chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, who called in live from the Holy city of Jerusalem for the latest, Weekly Update. Nachum and Malcolm began this week’s Update by emphasizing the importance of getting the next generation interested in current events, and being involved in the greater Jewish community. They spoke briefly about the passing of former NYC Mayor Ed Koch and the far reaching impact his years of public service had. They covered several other important issues including: the Israeli elections and building the next government, Israeli forces’ attack on a weapons convoy on the Syrian-Lebanese border on Wednesday, the latest news regarding Iran’s nuclear proliferation, the cartoon printed in The Sunday Times of London depicting Prime Minister Netanyahu building a bloody wall trapping the bodies of Palestinians, the on-going Hagel for Secretary of Defense proceedings, the significance of the recent blast at an Iranian nuclear site, and much more.
