President's Conference

Tonight was the Presidents Conference hosted by Shimon Peres, the President of the State of Israel. http://www.presidentconf.org.il/en/
Our program was the only gap year program through MASA Israel (the overhead company that supports and offers grants to many, many programs in Israel) that was invited to the conference.
The people there that spoke included BB Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, Shimon Peres, Tony Blair, Mort Zuckerman, as well as a video greeting from President Obama.
There were many other foreign dignitaries that were in attendance, but didn't speak, including
All in all it was amazing, each speaker was very interesting, and very intense, although for Shimon Peres and BB Netanyahu some of the inflection and emotion were lost because I had to listen to a translator, and they translator was not very deep with her emotional use.
Between the speakers Israeli musicians such as Idan Raichel, who we actually met prior to the conference starting (A fantastic performer that we're going to be seeing on Sunday) and a childrens choir sang.
The Conference was fantastic, and there is a small chance we're going to be able to return tomorrow for other aspects and talks of the conference, but it is unclear as to what portions of the event we're allowed to attend.
It was incredibly unreal that we were sitting in the same building and listening to these political speakers live, even those who I didn't have much background on were still amazing to listen to, and I am seriously in awe.
