| Joseph: 7 Lessons in Diplomacy |
# LD 877 B |
| by
Luchins, Dr. David |
|
| Joseph, the Egyptian Viceroy, is probably the least likely candidate in history to be considered a role model for diplomacy. He alienates his siblings, is accused of adultery, uncovers an old wound by framing his brother, and doesn't write home for 22 years. Nevertheless the key principles of diplomacy are found in his story and have been used by the Jewish people throughout history to maneuver and defend themselves against all the forces out to exterminate them. |

| The Structure of Israeli Politics |

|
| Should Americans use the power of their influence and money to sway the Israeli political agenda? After all, shouldn't they have a say on how to build and protect the country they love? On the other hand is it fair for those who don't live in Israel to make decisions without understanding the cultural undercurrents swirling around all the hot issues? Classic Luchins. |

| by
Luchins, Dr. David |

| Jews gave little thought to the contributions they made to all the countries they wandered through - that is until they settled in America.

Dr. Luchins, senior advisor to the late Senator Patrick Moynihan (NY), zeroes in on the Jewish experience in 'the land of the free,' and the unique spiritual gifts this freedom has engendered. |
