Major Dan Goldfus of Israel
The Israel Kesher Committee of Temple Aliyah and New England Region Friends of the Israel Defense Forces are very pleased to invite you to a discussion with Major Dan Goldfus. Major Goldfus commanded the force that took over the Karin A ship that was smuggling arms to the Palestinian Authority, thwarting what could have been a very deadly terror attack in Israel. He is currently studying at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island. Major Goldfus will tell the story of the Karin A capture. He will address the moral dilemmas and survival techniques he and his soldiers face in their day-to-day service in the IDF. You will gain a perspective of current affairs in Israel that you are not likely to hear about on the news or from coverage of political meetings here and abroad. He is a dynamic individual who is dedicated to his work and to the future of Israel.
The meeting will take place at the home of Ronni and Amos Eisenberg, 56 Canavan Circle, Needham, on Wednesday, May 5 at 7:30 pm.
As this meeting was planned on short notice to accommodate Major Goldfus’ schedule, we need to know if you will attend and if you are planning to bring a friend. (If there is a large response, the discussion will be moved to Temple Aliyah—and we will advise you). RSVP by May 3 by phone (781-444-6059—please leave your number in the message) or by email
