On March 14, 2018 at 7 pm at the Boston University School of Law Auditorium, the Elie Wiesel Center for Jewish Studies will welcome Senator George J. Mitchell to speak at the 4th annual Yitzhak Rabin Memorial Lecture. Senator Mitchell will draw on his decades of experience in conflict resolution through negotiation to present his view of the role of the United States in the Middle East. After his address to the audience, he will be joined by Professor Adil Najam, Dean of the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, to engage in further conversation. The evening's event will address the questions and challenges that arise when considering the possible role of the United States as a broker of peace in light of past and current politics, attitudes, and regional change. The inaugural Yitzhak Rabin Memorial Lecture was delivered in 2005 by Ambassador Dennis Ross. It has since featured addresses by Ethan Bronner (Former Jerusalem Bureau Chief, the New York Times), Admiral Amichai Ayalon (Israel), and a panel discussion moderated by Tom Ashbrook (NPR/WBUR) with Efraim Inbar (Bar Ilan University), David Ellenson (Brandeis University), Andrew Bacevich (Boston University), Susannah Heschel (Dartmouth), and Jeff Jacoby (Boston Globe).
