Event Details

With unparalleled access and a journalist’s eye for clarity, Lazar Berman will walk us through how the current conflict began, where things stand right now, and what might come next.
He’ll also offer a rare, human look at how ordinary Israelis are living through this moment, and what it means for Jews around the world.
This session includes a live Q&A, so you’ll have the chance to ask your own questions and hear unfiltered answers from someone reporting on the ground.

Presented by The Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning.
