Wael Isaac

Syrian founder of the Center for Peace in the New Middle East, speaking to Israeli audiences about an inspiring personal story: his journey toward Judaism. Wael, formerly a Syrian Christian, recently discovered Jewish roots in his family and began studying Judaism at a synagogue in the United States. In his lecture, he shares fascinating insights about Syria, Christian Arabs in the Middle East, and their relationship with Israel, combining these themes with his own personal journey toward Judaism. This is a rare opportunity to hear from someone who grew up as a Christian in Syria and is now drawing closer to a Jewish identity.
