SUMMARY:Beyond Washington: Strengthening Israel’s Alliances Post-Oct. 7 with David Siegel
DESCRIPTION:A Conversation with David Siegel\, President of ELNET\nAs Israel faces growing diplomatic challenges and an increasingly complex global landscape\, how does it strengthen ties to allies beyond the United States?\nJoin David Siegel\, President of ELNET (European Leadership Network) for an inside look at one of the organizations quietly shaping Israel’s relationships with political\, civic\, and security leaders across Europe. David is a former senior Israeli diplomat who served at the highest levels in the Israeli Foreign Ministry.\nEurope is by far Israel’s largest trade partner and the EU is the top funder of Israeli science and innovation. Europe buys more Israeli defense systems than any other region of the world.\nIsrael sold the Arrow-3 missile defense system to Germany after an ELNET delegation took German lawmakers to a sensitive Arrow-3 site in Israel. The deal was worth $7 billion\, making it by far the largest defense export in the Jewish state’s history.\nLearn how ELNET builds partnerships\, responds to emerging challenges\, and works to deepen understanding of Israel among decision-makers at a time when international alliances matter more than ever.\nThis conversation will offer a fascinating glimpse into the often unseen work of diplomacy\, advocacy\, and relationship-building.

SUMMARY:The Rabbi Albert Lewis Memorial Lecture with Professor Dan Schnur
DESCRIPTION:Democracy Requires Us \nRabbi Albert Lewis believed that faith communities have both the privilege and the responsibility to strengthen democracy and pursue justice. At a time of deep political division and declining public trust\, join nationally respected political commentator\, educator\, and former campaign strategist Dan Schnur for a thoughtful conversation about civic responsibility\, political polarization\, and what it will take to rebuild trust in our democratic institutions. \nDrawing on decades of experience teaching political communication and ethics\, advising political campaigns\, and analyzing American politics\, Dan brings a uniquely balanced perspective to one of the defining challenges of our time. As California prepares for consequential state and local elections this November\, he will also help us better understand the political landscape shaping our communities\, the evolving priorities of Jewish voters\, and how the war in Gaza and broader developments in the Middle East are influencing American politics. \nHow can we disagree without dehumanizing? What role can citizens—and communities of faith—play in shaping a healthier civic future? Together\, we’ll explore how democracy depends not only on our leaders\, but on each of us.
