On Thursday, March 26, Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. and Gary Axelbank (of Bronxnet fame) hosted a discussion, and question and answer session on the BP's recent visit to Israel.
The event will took place at the Riverdale YM-YWHA. It was co-sponsored by the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York City, the Riverdale Jewish Community Relations Council and Bronxnet.
In January, Borough President Diaz visited Israel with a delegation of Latino leaders, sponsored by the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York City. Later that month, Borough President Diaz hosted a dialogue with the President of the State of Israel, H.E. Mr. Reuven Rivlin, at the Bronx Museum of the Arts.
Both January events were designed to help foster greater relations between the Latino and Jewish communities of New York City and beyond.
