(Catholic Courier Publication Date: 03-18-2008)
Bethel Christian Fellowship Church, 321 East Ave., Rochester, will host the second-annual Greater Rochester Night to Honor Israel at 6 p.m. Sunday, March 30.

Keynote speaker for the event is Morton A. Klein, national president of the Zionist Organization of America. Other speakers will include leaders from the Jewish community, a senior diplomatic representative of the state of Israel, Mayor Robert Duffy, County Executive Maggie Brooks and state Sen. Joseph Robach, R-Greece.
