Amos Gil is the Founding Executive Director of Ir-Amim (“City of Peoples”, “City of Nations”), an Israeli not-for-profit organization that specializes in the unique circumstances of Jerusalem in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He also served as the first Executive Director of Manhattan’s Congregation Beth Simchat Torah, the world’s largest gay and lesbian Jewish congregation, and as the first Executive Director of the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, Israel’s oldest human rights group.  He currently serves as a consultant to various not-for-profits and businesses in the United States and Israel.

In this week’s episode of Chicago Policy Radio, Thomas Day sits down with Amos Gil to talk about life in Jerusalem for both Israelis and Palestinians and how Jerusalem impacts the possibility of a two-state solution.
