Professor Nadav Shelef - “The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: Where do we Stand Today?”
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Israel's conquest of the West Bank, and 100 years since the Balfour Declaration. This talk will explore the ups and downs of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict over that time, the current strategies of the participants, and where it is likely to go from here. Professor Shelef teaches and studies nationalism, religion and politics, Israeli politics and society, and middle east politics. His current projects focus on understanding how homelands change and the conditions under which religious parties moderate their positions.

About Levy Summer Series
Jewish Social Services established the Levy Summer Series in 2013 with a generous donation from Jeffrey C. Levy, to provide a memorable summer experience for adults.
Meeting in June, July and August, the series is held at Nakoma Country Club, 4145 Country Club Road in Madison and consists of six high-quality programs tied by a common theme, chosen each year by a committee of volunteers and staff. The programs are followed by an elegant lunch at a reasonable cost. A unique addition is the after-lunch salon, which is an opportunity to spend unhurried time engaging with the speaker and exchanging ideas in a comfortable and relaxed setting. Scholarships are available.
