Settling Jerusalem

Jerusalem is seen as a holy city by Muslim, Jews, and Christians around the world. But Christians now comprise only 9% of the countries population—mostly Orthodox and Catholic—and Muslims comprise 20%. Limited access to Jerusalem fuels frustration among other religions, but according to Israeli attorney Daniel Seidemann, Americans and Christians need a holistic perspective on the state of the holy city.

Daniel “Danny” Seidemann is widely recognized in Israel and the international community as a leading expert on contemporary Jerusalem.

Mr. Seidemann is a native of Syracuse, NY, and a graduate of Cornell and Hebrew University. He immigrated to Israel in 1973. He is a retired Reserve Major in the Israeli Defense Forces, and an active member of the Israeli Bar Association. Mr. Seidemann is married and has three daughters. In 2010, he was awarded the title of an honorary Member of the Order of the British Empire, in recognition of this work in Jerusalem.
