Shalev becomes Israel's first female ambassador to UN

WASHINGTON � Professor Gabriela Shalev presented her diplomatic credentials to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Monday, becoming the first woman to serve as Israel's ambassador to the United Nations.

The 67-year-old Shalev was rector of the Ono Academic College and has also served as chairman of the Israel Broadcasting Authority, as a member of the Jewish Agency's Board of Trustees and a member of the committee for formulating ethics of cabinet members.

1. Hope she turns out better than a few of the male ambassadors!

I wonder if she's any relation to Ruth Shalev, a professor at the Shaare Zedek Medical Center, and one of the world's experts on children's mathematical disabilities. Or is Shalev a very common name in Israel?
