The Story of Israel’s Economic Miracle

Dan Senor, co-author of the book, Start-Up Nation: The Story of Israel’s Economic Miracle, will be the guest speaker at Westchester Reform Temple (WRT) on Thursday, March 10, at 7:00 p.m., in a program co-sponsored by WRT with the American Jewish Committee Westchester and StandWithUs.

As the authors of this “illuminating and timely, and often surprising analysis” (ABC News) argue in their book, “Israel is not just a country but a comprehensive state of mind.” NBC News special correspondent Tom Brokaw has described “Start-Up Nation” as “a playbook for every CEO who wants to develop the next generation of corporate leaders.” An adjunct senior fellow for Middle East studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, Dan Senor has long been involved in policy, politics and business in the Middle East. From 2003 to 2004, Senor served in the Bush administration as a Pentagon and White House advisor based first in Qatar, then in Kuwait and Iraq. One of the longest-serving civilian officials in Iraq, Senor was awarded the highest civilian honor by the Pentagon. He writes frequently for the Wall Street Journal and has also written for The New York Times, The Washington Post and Time Magazine. Senor is an analyst for Fox News and a founding partner of Rosemont Capital. The moderator of this program is Oren Heiman, Managing Partner of Shiboleth LLP, a law firm active with Israeli tech companies in the U.S. Mr. Heiman is involved in the Israeli business community and has been a founder, supporting member, executive and board member in over a dozen organizations such as New Israel Fund and American Friends of Rabin Medical Center. He has maintained a periodic legal column in various Israeli publications in North America since 2001.

This event is free and open to the public at Westchester Reform Temple, 255 Mamaroneck Road, in Scarsdale, N.Y. Pre-signed copies of “Start-up Nation” will be available for purchase after the program.
