George J. Mitchell, former Senate majority leader and U.S. Special Envoy for Middle East Peace, will be the featured speaker as part of Temple Israel’s Dr. Bernard & Jeanette Gordon Halperin Memorial Lecture Series. Senator Mitchell will share the stage with Alon Sachar, with whom he co-wrote the recent book A Path to Peace: A Brief History of Israeli-Palestinian Negotiations and a Way Forward in the Middle East. Sachar was an advisor for the advancement of Middle East peace in both the Bush and Obama Administrations.

The lecture is free and open to the public. Seats are available on a first come, first served basis.

Mitchell and Sachar will offer their insiders’ account of progress and backsliding in the Israeli and Palestinians negotiations. They will offer their views on specific concessions each side must make in order to achieve peace. A question and answer period will follow their presentation.

It has been said “there is not a man, woman or child in the Capitol who does not trust George Mitchell.” In his 15 years as a U.S. Senator, George J. Mitchell enjoyed a high stratum of bipartisan respect. Outside of the Senate, he has been recognized as one of the most effective negotiators for world justice. Mitchell used his trust-building skills as the primary architect of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, bringing peace to Northern Ireland. In 1999, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
