Policy Perspectives in the Promised Land with Lior Zisser-Yogev

Policy Perspectives in the Promised Land 

Join Lior Zisser-Yogev, our community Shaliach (emissary), as she takes us into a deep dive of the public policies of Israel and the impact they have on Israeli society. Compare and contrast the systems in Israel and the U.S., learn what the Israeli government has in place for its population and the effect these policies have on everyday life. Topics include:

EDUCATION policy in Israel - divided educational systems and successful outcomes.

LABOR MARKET policies - How to include disadvantaged populations in the labor market.

HOUSING AND INFRASTRUCTURE policy - how to solve the ongoing housing crisis in the country with the largest natural increase in the developed world.

IMMIGRATION policy and ALIYAH ABSORPTION - how are refugees and immigrants received in Israel, and how are they optimally integrated into society.

PUBLIC HEALTH policy - mandatory free public health care for all citizens

LGBTQ POLICY in Israel – the interesting case of how a government that was in power for only one year managed to take governmental responsibility for the LGBTQ population in Israel.
