92nd St Y Returns with New Fall Line-up

The new season for 92nd Street Y programming will return to the Sudermann Commons at the WSU Metroplex, beginning on Thursday, September 11th at 7:00 pm. The Live from NY series is a live satellite broadcast from New York City, bringing guests and topics of special interest to the community.

The lead off broadcast for September features Noah Feldman with a program titled "Past and Future in the Middle East: Seven Years Since 9/11". Feldman will speak about the United States’ response to the terrible events of September 11, 2001, marked a watershed in American policy toward the region. Instead of pursuing stability, the country has practiced a strategy of shaking things up in the hopes of democratization. What are the results, and what can we expect United States policy to be in the new administration? Feldman is professor of law at Harvard University, a contributing writer to The New York Times Magazine and an adjunct senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. He is the author of After Jihad: America and the Struggle for Islamic Democracy; What We Owe Iraq: War and the Ethics of Nation Building; Divided by God: America’s Church-State Problem - and What We Should Do About It; and most recently The Fall and Rise of the Islamic State.

The other programs in the fall series will be:

• "Searching for Schindler" with Thomas Keneally on October 12th, 6:30 pm.
• "Why Faith Matters" with Rabbi David Wolpe on November 25th, 7:15 pm.
