Distinguished Fellow Michael Oren Chosen as Israel’s Ambassador

The entire Shalem team gathered recently to celebrate Michael Oren’s journey from a fellow who joined us 11 years ago to the soon-to-be-appointed Ambassador of the United States. We would like to share his remarks with you. In his words to us, Michael thanks his Shalem family for being the kind of institution that has nurtured the development of ideas that are relevant for active engagement in public service on behalf of Israel and the Jewish people, and highlights the importance of building a new generation of leaders through Shalem College, the first liberal arts college of Israel. We at Shalem enthusiastically extend this thanks to our supporters and friends, whose vision and generosity have enabled the kind of leadership we can all be extremely proud of.
