Moderated by Dina Siegel Vann, Director, AJC Belfer Institute for Latino and Latin American Affairs

Over the past years, Venezuela has faced profound political upheaval and humanitarian distress from contested elections and widespread protests, to the influence of rogue regimes and shifting power dynamics. These developments have deeply affected regional security, and highlighted longstanding economic and social debacles impacting millions of Venezuelans including members of the once thriving Jewish community.

Join AJC to examine what precipitated the current crisis, the political and institutional realities inside Venezuela today and the impact on Jewish life and future relations with Israel.
