JEWISH POLICY CENTER FORUM TO 
EXAMINE DOMESTIC POLICY ISSUES


The Jewish Policy Center will sponsor the second in its series of
interactive forums at The George Washington University on Monday,
October 28th, at 7PM.  The forum, titled The Jewish Community: Liberal
Roots and Conservative Solutions- A Jewish, Conservative View of
Domestic Issues will be moderated by noted author and talk radio host
Michael Medved.

"This forum presents an opportunity for the Jewish community to hear
leading Jewish thinkers engage in a discussion about domestic policy
from a Jewish and ideologically conservative perspective," said Shelly
Kamins, Chairman of the Jewish Policy Center.

Five distinguished panelists will participate in a lively examination
of religion in the public square, crime, drugs, affirmative action,
taxes, welfare reform and other timely domestic policy issues.  The
panel will consist of Norman Podhoretz, former editor of Commentary
and father of Neo-Conservatism; Dennis Prager, editor of Ultimate
Issues and talk radio host; Don Feder, nationally syndicated columnist
and author; Murray Friedman, author and Director of the Center for
American Jewish History at Temple University; and Rabbi Samuel
Dresnser of the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York.

According to Mr. Kamins, "The Jewish Policy Center�s first forum, held
in the Spring, was a huge success.  An overflow crowd attended the
previous forum, while many times that number watched it on C-SPAN."

The Jewish Policy Center�s mission is to analyze, and widely
disseminate to the public, conservative approaches to social, economic
and foreign policy issues from the perspective of the Jewish
community."

The October 28th forum is free and open to the public.  It will be
held at the George Washington University, Hillel Gewirz Center, at
2300 H Street, near the Foggy Bottom/GWU metro.
