Rachel Zohar Dulin, Ph.D. is a speaker on many diverse topics as indicated in her CV below.
She teaches at New College, Sarasota,Florida, has a radio show and writes a monthly column and speaks widely.

I have had the occasion to hear her speak at synagogues and at the Jewish Federation of Sarasota, Florida over the last three winters and was inspired to invite her to my home the weekend of October 22 to 25, 2015 in the hope of arranging speaking opportunities in New Haven or on the Shoreline.

Rachel was born in Israel and has never been to the East Coast or to CT Shoreline! Her airplane ticket has already been arranged. I will host her at my home in Madison and drive her to all venues.

I am hopeful that l the Jewish Federation of New Haven and of the Shoreline will be interested in helping me arrange some speaking opportunities over the weekend of October 23-25, 2015 this fall. Thank you for giving this suggestion your immediate attention and consideration.
