We have been closely watching the events in Egypt. We look at the same events from several perspectives. We watch the events as freedom loving Americans. We watch the events as people worried about stability in the world. We watch the events as Jews concerned about Israel.
In my sermon at services this Friday evening I will sort through many of the questions raised by the events in Egypt.
What impact will the changes have on the Israel/Egypt relationship?
What will be the impact of these events on the Palestinian in the West Bank? In Gaza?
What will be the impact of these events on the governments of Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Iran?
Will elections actually take place? What will be the result of those elections?
In recent days I have participated in conference call briefings with diplomats, academics and activists. I have also heard from sources in Washington and in Israel. I expect I will continue to learn more as the week goes on. On Friday I will share with you my analysis.
