Federal judge and author of Israel on Trial discusses history, law, and misinformation with Dr. Alan Kadish

The legal and historical foundations of Israel were the focus of a recent Touro Talks event featuring Judge Roy K. Altman, author of the new book Israel on Trial. In conversation with Touro University President and CEO Dr. Alan Kadish at the university’s Times Square campus, Judge Altman discussed the Jewish connection to Israel, the legal criteria for statehood, and what he sees as common misconceptions about the Jewish state. Following the discussion, he signed copies of his book for students and guests.
