Ido Aharoni serves as a global distinguished professor at New York
University’s School of International Relations in the Faculty of Arts
and Sciences. Ambassador Aharoni is a 25-year veteran of Israel’s
Foreign service, a public diplomacy specialist, founder of the Brand

Aharoni, who served as Israel's longest serving consul-general in New
York and the tristate area for six years, oversaw the operations of
Israel’s largest diplomatic mission worldwide.
Ambassador
Aharoni has been a member of Israel’s Foreign Service since the summer
of 1991 and held two other overseas positions in Los Angeles and in New
York. I befriended
Ambassador Aharoni during his tenure in Los Angeles.
As
President of the Long Beach Central Area Association, i partnered with
photojournalist Irene Fertrick for a book signing & photo exhibit
titled "BETA ISRAEL-House of Israel (capturing the hardships and
kinships of Ethiopian Jews living in Israel) followed by reception led
by Rabbi-Cantor. The location was Long Beach Borders Books and Music,
June 7, 1998. The event was officially endorsed by the Israeli Consulate
in honor of the 50th anniversary of Israel's statehood.
I recently emailed
Ambassador Aharoni to share information about composer Elie Siegmeister I
HAVE A DREAM Cantata with text by Edward Mabley based on a speech by
Martin Luther King, Jr. I was surprised to learn from the Ambassador
that "ISRAEL is the only country, outside of the USA, that is officially
marking MLK’s legacy." See pic 1 Israel Ambassador Ido Aharoni, pic 2 Rev Dr.
