Jerusalem Deputy Mayor To Speak To Bergen Co. Jewish Women

BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — It is not everyday you get to hear from a high-caliber leader like Jerusalem's Deputy Mayor. But this Bergen County Jewish organization is honored to host the Israeli politician and policymaker as the keynote speaker at an upcoming meeting.

Deputy Mayor Fleur Hassan-Nahoum is scheduled to speak to the National Council of Jewish Women Bergen County Section at a March 13 meeting of the organization's Israel Affairs Committee.

Hassan-Nahoum, who is involved — the organization said — in advancement of the rights of women and marginalized groups in Jerusalem, will be discussing "Jerusalem, Abraham Accords and Beyond" at the meeting.

In charge of foreign relations, international economic development and tourism, Hassan-Nahoum is serving as the only British politician in Israel. She was appointed as deputy mayor by Mayor Moshe Lion in November 2018, after she was re-elected to the Jerusalem Municipal Council.

She was introduced to the NCJW Bergen County Section by an International Council of Jewish Women representative to the United Nations. Her discussion will be held via Zoomat 1 p.m.

“The section is looking forward to hearing first hand what is going on in Israel today,” NCJW Israel Affairs Committee Chair Carole Benson said.
