One of the most influential leaders in Israel’s history, Ehud Olmert became Prime Minister with a courageous vision: achieving prosperity through peace.

Born in 1945, Olmert began his career in public service at only 28 years old, serving seven consecutive terms in the state legislature as a member of the Foreign Affairs, Defense, Finance and Education Committees, and as Minister of Health. Even before his first public election, Olmert had earned three degrees in philosophy, psychology and law from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem; served with the Israel Defense Forces as a journalist and military correspondent; and was at the helm of a successful law partnership in Jerusalem.

Olmert rose to international prominence when he was elected Mayor of Jerusalem in 1993. During his decade as Mayor, Olmert established the most advanced transportation infrastructure in the country, reformed the education system with hundreds of school improvements, expanded small neighborhoods into hi-tech

industrial centers and established a historic budget surplus for Jerusalem’s growing economy. Olmert’s improvements changed the face of the city, but Jerusalem was constantly confronted with violent terrorism which resulted in hundreds of civilian casualties. As Mayor, he made an uncompromising decision: Olmert personally visited the home of every family in Jerusalem who lost a loved one to terrorist attacks. He also made historic advances in the city’s emergency response system, setting a new standard for safety in the region.

After achieving unparalleled success in the legislature and as Mayor, Olmert was appointed by Prime Minister Sharon to serve in his cabinet as Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Industry, Trade and Labor. Olmert founded historic free trade agreements that bolstered Israel’s economy, resulting in a tremendous increase in exports, employment and trade routes throughout the country. For the first time in history, the scope of Israel’s exports exceeded imports; and under Olmert’s economic and financial leadership, Israel experienced unprecedented growth and regional trade expansion.

In 2006, Olmert was designated Acting Prime Minister as a result of the serious stroke suffered by Prime Minister Sharon. In the historic election that followed, Olmert was elected the 12th Prime Minister of Israel, resolving to advance the focus on peace, prosperity and international diplomacy. Under Olmert’s leadership, Israel reduced casualties from terror attacks to the lowest in decades. With more families employed than ever before, Israel’s economic growth exploded even when compared with some Western nations, and his time in office left Israel with a record budget surplus. As Prime Minister, Olmert

forged intimate relationships with prominent world leaders George W. Bush, Gordon Brown, Nicolas Sarkozy and Angela Merkel among others, which unified the global community with a shared vision for peace in the middle east.

At the podium, Olmert offers an in-depth analysis of the world’s most difficult and complex issues, including international security, urban infrastructure, universal health care and education reform. Read more at www.greatertalent.com/EhudOlmert.

Rabbi Shmuley Boteach first garnered world recognition through his founding of the Oxford L’Chaim Society, an organization of students that, within three years of its founding, had become the second largest student organization in Oxford’s history. As a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University, Cory Booker attended a L’Chaim Society meeting and was seated next to the 24-year old Chabad rabbi, Shmuley Boteach.

Unlikely companions, the young Baptist from New Jersey and Oxford’s rabbi of more than a decade discovered a deeply shared belief in the power of diversity and tolerance to influence meaningful change.Their collaboration and close friendship at Oxford,

which was reported on by the world’s media, was a powerful example of the tremendous possibilities that result when people not only embrace racial, ethnic and religious tolerance, but go beyond tolerance to find mutual enrichment.

Booker and Shmuley’s close friendship evolved and continues to influence change among individuals, families and entire communities. Booker took the oath of office as Mayor of New Jersey’s largest city on July 1, 2006 following a sweeping electoral victory. Under his leadership, Newark has experienced radical transformations with a 40% reduction in violence and unprecedented development of urban infrastructure. Rabbi Shmuley has been called by Newsweek magazine ‘a cultural phenomenon and the most famous Rabbi in America’ and is regularly chosen as one of the most influential Rabbis in the world. An international best-selling author of more than 20 books, Rabbi Shmuley is also the host of TLC’s award-winning relationship repair show, ‘Shalom in the Home.’

At the podium, the two close friends, both mesmerizing speakers, bring their passion for social change to audiences, sharing stories informed by individual and shared experiences. Together they demonstrate the need for communities to embrace social values that extend beyond simple tolerance, encouraging a lifetime of enrichment through difference. Both internationally admired academic scholars, the Mayor and the Rabbi ardently discuss the state of democracy and government’s role in establishing stronger cultural and family values.

Together the husband-and-wife team speak about global affairs in the unique dual view of media reporter and government policy-maker. Brown and Senor combine to share more than two decades of experience in politics, government and the press, leading to a spirited discussion.

Dan Senor and Campbell Brown met in Baghdad shortly after the start of the Iraqi War—with Senor serving as the Bush Administration’s Chief Spokesman in Baghdad, and Brown in her role as correspondent for NBC’s TODAY: Weekend Edition and NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams.

Campbell Brown is one of the most respected and recognizable faces in American news. She won an Emmy for her reporting during Hurricane Katrina; was on the trail during two presidential elections; and has made numerous trips to Iraq to report on the Iraqi elections, abuses at Abu Graib prison and

the trial of Saddam Hussein. She currently host of Campbell Brown: No Bias, No Bull. Prior to joining CNN, Brown was with NBC News for eleven years. While there, Brown served as co-anchor of NBC’s TODAY: Weekend Edition, and as the main substitute anchor for Brian Williams for NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams.

Dan Senor was the Chief Spokesperson for the U.S.-led Coalition in Iraq, and a Senior Advisor to Presidential Envoy L. Paul Bremer III, the Administrator of the Coalition Provisional Authority. Senor rode into Baghdad on the first convoy of civilians into Iraq from Kuwait, less than two weeks after the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime. Working closely with the military under often less-than-ideal conditions, Senor advised the Bush Administration, the Blair Government in the U.K. and Ambassador Bremer on a variety of Iraqi strategic, policy and communication issues and was the civilian face of the Coalition Authority to Americans, Europeans, Iraqis and the world.

“Religious language is the language that holds the most currency for the masses. In every culture, it’s not unusual to boil down the most complex sociopolitical issues and conflicts to their most basic level: good vs. evil. Any

child can make that choice.” —Reza Aslan

The first young Muslim intellectual to appear on the scene in years, Reza Aslan brings a new, passionate, and much-needed perspective to the national discussion regarding Islam.

To a generation savvy about media biases and packaging, Yago frames complex issues in an unbiased, informative format. Their unique perspectives allow for a fresh, comprehensive look at the culture of Islam and global events. Together,

they are an unbeatable duo for exploring the current realities of faith, politics, and society.

Reza Aslan is the author of the acclaimed No god but God: the Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam. Praised by The New York Times

as a “grippingly narrated and thoughtfully examined... literate, accessible introduction to Islam,” No god but God has established Aslan as the most dynamic voice of liberal Islam in the US.

Gideon Yago is recognized as the face of current events to millions of young adults stemming from his many years as the on-air news correspondent for MTV and as the host of the IFC Media Project. In addition to covering the war in Iraq for MTV, he was part of the award-winning coverage in the wake of 9/11.

“I could talk at length about the omnipresence of fear and insecurity [in Iraq], but it would only paint one side of the story.” —Gideon Yago

Rabbi Wolpe told Mr. Hitchens, “I have to take your assumptions about God’s incompetence with just a grain of salt because as someone who believes in God, I think God may know better.” Mr. Hitchens erupted in indignation. “Your claim to know the mind of God is … of course a

claim I can’t follow.” —The New York TimesFrom opposite sides of the spectrum, Christopher Hitchens and Rabbi David Wolpe draw intellectual swords in an impassioned battle over the sacred and profane. Together, Hitchens and Wolpe present cases for and against organized religion, explore its influence on world history and impact on current events.

With unbridled intensity, passion and authority, Hitchens and Wolpe draw unprecedented crowds and garner passionate audience responses. After a historic turnout at Temple Emanu-El in New York of nearly 2,000 attendees, Gary Rosenblatt (publisher and moderator for the debate organized

by The Jewish Week) marveled at the size of the audience, saying it was “the largest for any public forum the newspaper had ever sponsored.” Hitchens and Wolpe spark firestorms of enthusiasm from audiences, the press, bloggers and online forums, making

Why Does God Matter one of the most relevant debates of our time.

Named the #1 Rabbi in America by Newsweek magazine, David Wolpe is the Rabbi of Sinai Temple in Los Angeles, California. He previously taught at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America in New York, the American Jewish University in Los Angeles, Hunter College, and he currently teaches at UCLA. Rabbi Wolpe has been named one of the hundred most influential Jews in America by Forward.

Christopher Hitchens is one of the most prominent controversial writers and critics in the media. Described by The Economist as “one of the greatest living conversationalists,” he is a renowned author, journalist, critic and social intellectual. The author of the #1 best-seller God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, Hitchens presents an ardent argument against organized religion from an intellectually charged, atheist perspective.
