Ambassador Yoram Ettinger (Retd.)

Every guest we've hosted has been a delight, but Ambassador Ettinger holds a special place. An expert in US-Israel relations, he's also a cherished friend known for his humility and love of music.

One of our favorites, but this list contains all favorites. We have never had anyone stay with us that was nothing but a delight. Anyone of the people we have hosted would be a great guest speaker for you. Ambassador Ettinger is an Israeli researcher, diplomat, writer, lecturer, and consultant to Israeli and US legislators and their staffers. He is an expert on US-Israel relations, Middle East affairs, and Jewish-Arab demography. You will want to sign up for his weekly Ettinger Report. There are more Youtube videos than you can count. At one time, he was Council General to the Southwest from Israel and learned to love our music! He is a forever friend, and one of the humblest men I have ever met. He spent some days with us in 2022, and one of our favorite times was taking him to 130-plus-year-old honky tonks in Bluff Dale, Texas. The surprise visit of an Ambassador from Israel made these two goods ole boys' days. They are in each end of the photo.
