His topics are: "A New Prime Minister, And A New President: Rocky Road, Or Smooth Sailing?,” a perspective on the future of U.S.-Israel relations, and its impact on the Middle East; and "The Middle East, the Media and the Message," a look at how newspapers, television and radio cover the situation, and how bias and ignorance affects that coverage. Mr. Wohlgelernter was also sports editor of the just-published second edition of the Encyclopedia Judaica, and can speak on Jews in sports as well. An extended question-and-answer session will follow the lecture.
