The program, which will explore Jewish ethics and Israel’s foreign policy, is open to the community and runs for six consecutive Tuesdays at the Yeshiva University Museum, 15 West 16th St., in New York City.
The first lecture, Mr. Ayalon on “Israel’s Foreign Policy: Diplomacy in Practice,” will be at 10:30 a.m. The second lecture, at 11:45, by Dr. Shatz, will be “Pursuing the Right and the Good: Themes in Jewish Ethics.”
