The kick-off event will be a Shalom L'dorot Action Conference, held at the Ramat Rachel Hotel in Jerusalem this afternoon (Sunday). It is entitled "The Mask of Israeli Democracy and the Clear and Present Danger to Our National Existence."
The campaign will address what the organizers call "the corruption and facade of democratic institutions and procedures in Israel today." The conference leaders call upon the "concerned public - those who want to make a difference and create change but are unsure of how to get it accomplished" to participate and share their thoughts and ideas, leading to a translation of "these concerns into a plan of action and a strategy for its implementation."
Panelists include Professor Paul Eidelberg, Professor Ruth Gabizon, Rabbi Yakov Medan, Atty. Elyakim Haetzni and Rabbi Menachem Brod.
Highlights of the conference include sessions entitled:
* "Electoral Reform: Making Our Leaders Accountable"
* "The Missing Voice: Sounding the Cry of Terror Victims", and
* "Political Beit Midrash: Bringing Jewish Principles into the Political Arena."
