OUR 59TH SEASON!

You can always count on the Sinai Forum to bring compelling contemporary issues to us, giving us a face-to-face opportunity to hear from experts and pose challenging questions to them.

Our 59th season is exceptional in this regard.  We will get true political insights both before the Presidential election and following it from two of our speakers; one an adviser to 4 former presidents, the other a highly respected political journalist and author. We will hear from a noted physician/journalist on the health care reform controversy and how it affects us all. An internationally recognized historian and television icon will share some of his professional experiences. And we will be transported back to another time and place with Robert Frost as our guide!

See you at the Forum!

All programs will start either at 3 P.M. or 7 P.M. (CST), at Elston Middle School’s Performing Arts Center, 317 Detroit St., Michigan City. Please see individual speaker listing for exact schedule.
