Join us February 21, 2006 to hear Dr. Jeffery Albert discuss the role of environmental issues in the peace process in the Middle East at 7:00 P.M. at Temple Beth Hatfiloh, 8th & Washington, Downtown Olympia.

Jeff Albert PhD is co-founder and CEO of the Aquaya Institute, a nonprofit organization dedicated to research, testing, and promotion of water resource innovations in the developing world. Since 1997, he has been involved in a variety of Israeli-Palestinian water and environmental projects

Dr. Albert is an expert on water allocation. His Ph.D. dissertation work at Yale University focused on the Science and Politics of Wastewater Reclamation in Israel. Between 1998 and 2001, Jeffery was on the staff of the Water Commission, the Israeli government agency with prime responsibility for water allocation decision making. Since 1997, he has been involved in a variety of Israeli-Palestinian water and environmental projects, and he makes regular trips to the region.

This event is sponsored by the Olympia Chapter of Brit Tzedek v’Shalom (Jewish Alliance for Justice and Peace). For more information, contact Juliet VanEenwyk, 360-493-1592.
