19 Mar 2012 - With security issues still taking centre stage in news headlines in Israel, the country’s long-ignored gender-segregation crisis continues to fester.
That’s why retired brigadier-general Israela Oron, an analyst and commentator on Israeli security and strategic affairs with a background in gender issues, says that now is the time to put Israeli women’s plight on the table.
Oron, who was the first woman to command an all-male officer-training course in the Israeli Air Force and the first woman to serve on the faculty of the National Defense College, will be speaking on “Gender, Security and Religion in Israel” on March 25 at Temple Sinai in Toronto. The event is free and is being sponsored by the New Israel Fund of Canada, Temple Sinai and ARZA – Canadian Association of Reform Zionists.
