DESCRIPTION:A talk with Avrum Burg, political leader, author, and activist.\n\nIsrael 
 is the only democracy in the Middle East and, at the same time, it faces 
 significant challenges. \n\nNon-Orthodox Jews do not have the right to 
 marry with their chosen rabbis. Palestinian Israeli citizens - 20% of the 
 population - do not feel fully accepted and equal. In the territories, 
 Palestinians and Jews are governed by different sets of laws.\n\nWhat needs 
 to be done for Israel to truly be a democratic homeland for the Jewish 
 people? And what is the role of the Diaspora in this historic 
 endeavor?\n\nAvrum Burg is a social and political activist, and has been a 
 well-known public leader in Israel for over 20 years. The youngest Speaker 
 in the history of the Israeli Parliament, the Knesset (1999-2003) and a 
 staunch supporter of peace in the Middle East, Burg has been referred to as 
 "one of the best speech-makers in politics."\n
