Lecture: “The Keren Yedidut Foundation: A Window of Opportunity”

November 5, 2015
On November 9, 2015, the lecture “The Keren Yedidut Foundation: A Window of Opportunities” was held at the Pocitos Campus, presented by architect Nadin Hakas, the foundation’s representative for Uruguay. 
The speaker presented the institution, its objectives and working methodology, and the benefits it provides to the Uruguayan Jewish community.

Architect Hakas volunteered with WIZO, Keren Hayesod, and Keren Kayemet Leisrael, an organization of which she served as president; she was honored with an entry in the Golden Book in recognition of her work and currently serves as its honorary president.

In 2007, she was part of an international delegation to Ethiopia to support the integration of immigrants from that community into Israel, producing a documentary with the material gathered during the trip. She has given numerous lectures and interviews on the subject at Jewish institutions, on the radio, in the press, and at the Evangelical Church Peace for the Nations.

The event was organized by the Keren Yedidut Foundation in Uruguay and the university’s Department of Jewish Studies.
