Fifty years ago, the 1967 Six-Day War redefined not just the map of the Middle East — expanding Israel’s borders and reunifying Jerusalem — but also the political, economic and social course of the region for decades to come.

On the next episode of “Sanctuary,” the quarterly public affairs program of the Jewish United Fund and the Chicago Board of Rabbis, JUF’s Aaron Cohen talks with Prof. Elie Rekhess about the incredible impact those events have had, and continue to have, on the evolution of the Jewish State and the region.

Rekhess is Northwestern University’s Crown Visiting Professor in Israel Studies and one of Israel’s leading experts on Jewish-Arab relations and the Arab minority in Israel.

This episode of “Sanctuary” will air at noon every Sunday in May on ABC’s Live Well Network, 7.2. Check local cable listings for the channel. The program also can be viewed on the JUF website here .

“Sanctuary” is a joint production of the Jewish United Fund of Metropolitan Chicago and the Chicago Board of Rabbis, in cooperation with ABC7.
