MINEOLA, N.Y. – Sept. 20, 2017 – PRLog — Meltzer, Lippe, Goldstein & Breitstone, LLP, one of Long Island’s largest law firms, today announced the schedule for its Fall 2017 Meltzer Lippe Forum speaker series, hosted by firm Chairman Lew Meltzer and former Congressman Steve Israel of Meltzer Lippe Strategies.

“The Meltzer Lippe Forum was created to give the firm’s clients and friends a venue to hear prominent leaders in their fields share their thoughts and respond to audience queries and comments,” explained Lew Meltzer. “We believe that a law firm should be a place for more than just the practice of our profession. We want our offices to serve as a place for the exchange of ideas and critical thinking about a range of topics important to the firm, our clients, and the larger community.”
Ambassador Dayan has a longstanding reputation as an Israeli public figure, lecturer and entrepreneur who enjoys wide support and appreciation from all sides of the Israeli political spectrum. For the Forum audience, Ambassador Dayan will be speaking about Iran, Syria and other Middle East hotspots.
Ambassador Dayan served as Chairman of the Council of Jewish Communities in Judea and Samaria, followed by two years as the Council’s Chief Foreign Envoy. His role included advocacy trips to the major seats of government worldwide as well as regular meetings with foreign diplomats and journalists based in Israel. For many years Dayan has been a regular commentator in the international broadcast and print media and has frequently participated in public debates and panels at major conferences and universities. Among the media outlets he has contributed to include The New York Times, Boston Globe, The Guardian, CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera and many more.
“The Meltzer Lippe Forum will bring together thought leaders from a wide variety of arenas, from world politics to healthcare to cyber security and big data, and how these continually evolving fields affect business concerns,” said Israel. “It’s a singular opportunity to discuss some of the great issues of the day with those on the inside track.”
“Now with Steve Israel taking an active role, it’s a perfect opportunity to take the Meltzer Lippe Forum to a new level,” added Lew Meltzer. “As the head of Long Island University’s Global Institute, and with his more than 25 years in the public service arena, including service on the House Appropriations Committee, House Armed Services Committee and House Financial Services Committee as a Congressman, Steve has a highly sophisticated knowledge of world events.
