Join Yad L’Olim and Telfed for this election season’s largest online English-language campaign debate ahead of the November 1 election.

The debate features Knesset members from the Likud, Yesh Atid, Labor, Meretz, Religious Zionist, Israel Beiteinu and National Unity parties.

Hear the party platforms in their native language. Candidates will answer pressing questions about security, the economy, religion and state, and issues related specifically to olim. They will also have the opportunity to ask questions of one another.

The event is being moderated by Yad L’Olim’s founder and CEO, former Knesset member Dov Lipman.

Yad L’Olim is an NGO that advocates in the halls of government for olim from all backgrounds and helps new immigrants to Israel navigate complicated bureaucracy. The organization provides many services for olim and advocates for policies that benefit them.
