About this event

Village on the Ridge has invited us to this presentation by Jim Lammendola, their Board President, who earned a master's degree in Middle Eastern history from Temple University in 1979. 

The reasons for the geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East surrounding Israel, Hamas, Palestine, and Iran confuse many people. 

This presentation is designed to both inform and stimulate discussion. It will provide an overview of historical, social, economic, and religious forces that have shaped recent events with a focus on Israel, Palestine, and Iran. The interests of the U.S. will also be examined. 

NOTE: The Wolcoff Auditorium is located in a building next to the hospital. 

East Falls Village members are welcome and do not have to register.
