Israel Peace Alternatives Presents

Ben Feldman, J Street Northwest Deputy Regional Director
Thursday, April 16, 2026, 11:30 am potluck dairy lunch; 12 Noon program | CBH Social Hall

An October 2025 poll by The Washington Post shows 76% of American Jews feeling connected to Israel, while 61% are critical of the Israeli government. A Haaretz analysis described this plurality as “conflictedly connected,” with J Street being their ideological home.

If you have ever felt this way, or are curious to find out more, please come meet Ben Feldman of J Street for this informal lunchtime talk. Ben joins J Street from Silicon Valley where he’s worked in Growth, driving internationalization and building revenue for startups and large companies alike. A lifelong student of politics and international relations, he holds graduate degrees from Middlebury College and the American University in Cairo, and a BA from the University of Virginia.

Please register below by noon Wednesday, April 15th and please consider making a donation to cover costs.
