American Freedom Alliance mourns the sudden passing of its founder and president, Avi Davis.  
He was a great friend, a truly fine man, and an intellectual powerhouse whose sudden loss we all feel acutely.  
Avi and this organization have been a tremendous force for freedom, and the Board of Directors of AFA has been meeting to ensure that this important work continues.  We are committed to the mission, and to honoring Avi.  
Recently, Avi had written this:  
Happiness comes in life not by wanting but by giving; and then, of course, by expressing gratitude and humility for whatever small portion of good luck we are privileged to enjoy as a result. To BE happy, in the end, is to be grateful - thankful for our extraordinary good fortune to be alive.
If this is the case, and we believe it to be, Avi Davis must truly have been one of the happiest of men, and we are grateful to have known him. 
Roger Simon of PJMedia wrote this moving tribute, and this In Memoriam piece was written by Adelle Nazarian from Breitbart.com.

About the Topic:
Israel is a complicated country; Jerusalem, its capital, is not only complex, it is also diverse.  Along with its communities of secular, modern  Orthodox and  ultra-religious Jews and an often hostile Arab community -  the city is challenged on many other  levels.

Nearly 41 years after reunification, Jerusalem remains a city riven with deep economic uncertainty.  The poverty rate is higher than for almost any other part of Israel: The Jerusalem Institute for Israeli Studies has found that 23.5% of Jews and 72.5% of non-Jews live in poverty in Jerusalem proper.

Among the most decisive factors contributing to poverty in Jerusalem is the migration of the two highest wage earning groups - secular Jews and modern orthodox Jews - from the city to surrounding areas. 

Both of the presenting speakers are passionate advocates for Jerusalem as a high tech center and as a source of continuing development.  They will discuss the ways in which the city can be saved from becoming either an economic backwater or else a political football between competing political, ideological and religious interests.
