Our next Fireside Chats speaker is Gordy Zacks, one of the top leaders of UJC, a founding member of AIPAC, and an informal advisor to Vice President George W. H. Bush and President Reagan, and then to President George W. Bush. He was offered both an ambassadorship and a cabinet position but he turned them down to remain an advisor on Middle East policy. Mr. Gordy authored a book on Jewish leaders called “Defining Moments, Stories of Character, Courage, and Leadership.” Space is limited.
