Please join AAC Men's Club, with our AAC Community Shlicha Yasmin Drescher, as we host a virtual conversation with Alon Tal, a member of Israel's Knesset.  While MK Tal's portfolio focuses on the environment, we will also address current international issues facing Israel.  Yasmin will moderate the discussion.
