Presented by Shai Bibas. Shai Bibas is Charleston’s Israel Shaliach (Emissary), where during these two years in residence, he works with synagogues, churches, schools, youth, and adults of all ages to bring new dimensions to our understanding of Israel. In this program, he will share his own story to illuminate Israel’s emphasis on self-empowerment and how that value takes shape in Israel’s cutting-edge science and technology sector. Shai has degrees in chemistry and biology from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem; worked in a lab where he invented a potential treatment for lung cancer; and works for TEVA, the largest pharmaceutical company in Israel, and one of the seven largest in the world.
