The development of the Exchange

According to a report in the Atlanta Jewish Times:

"Two events, the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, drove home the need for the cooperation and cross-training at the heart of GILEE and made its success predictable if not certain".

"The same factors, along with Friedmann's connections and force of will, led to the likes of Avi Dichter and terrorism experts from the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya coming to Atlanta to speak. What may be more of a surprise is that along the way Jewish Atlanta has benefited from education Georgia police leaders have gained about Israel, Judaism and global anti-Semitism".[3].

In the same article Robert Friedmann is quoted as saying:

"Until they went to Israel, they didn't realize how vulnerable Israel was and how vulnerable the Jewish community was,"[4].
