SARASOTA – A special guest will appear at the Jewish Federation of Sarasota-Manatee on Wednesday, Jan. 25, when the Federation hosts former Israeli U.N. ambassador Ron Prosor.
 
The event at Temple Emanuel will feature Prosor discussing the U.N., U.S.-Israeli relations and Israel. The former ambassador, who served in his position from 2011 to 2015 following his tenure as Israel's ambassador to the U.K., was also Director General of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs during the Second Lebanon war.
 
Prosor has made numerous appearances to television news channels including the BBC, CNN and MSNBC, and has had guest editorials featured in several major publications such as The Jerusalem Post, Ha'aretz, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times.
 
In a press release, JFSM executive director Howard Tevlowitz said of Prosor: "Given the behavior of the United Nations and the recent spike in anti-Semitism, his experience at the U.N. and his understanding of foreign policy offers audiences a unique vantage point for understanding global politics and economic affairs."
The event starts at 7 p.m. Temple Emanuel is located at 151 McIntosh Road in Sarasota. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at jfedsrq.org/events or by calling 1-866-465-3995. All bags will be checked at the door and pre-registration is strongly recommended. Please bring photo ID.
 
Please reserve the spaces at the temple for handicapped parking. Overflow parking with shuttle service will be available on the Federation campus, 580 McIntosh Road, Sarasota.
