It was incredible to see over 5,000 members of our community register to join Elliott Abrams, Eric Cohen, and Jonathan Silver yesterday evening for a special briefing on this past weekend’s attacks and the war Israel is now fighting.
For those of you who were unable to attend live, or who wish to rewatch or share the conversation, you can view a recording by clicking here.
Mr. Abrams delivered a thoughtful assessment of the situation on the ground as well as of what this war augurs for the future of Israel and the entire region. We were especially privileged to be joined by Tikvah Israel Director-General Amiad Cohen—if only briefly—for an update from the front lines of the conflict. Along with over 300,000 of his fellow citizens, Amiad has been called up for reserve duty, and is currently stationed on Israel’s tense northern border.
As Mr. Cohen said last night, Israel finds itself today fighting on the front lines of Western civilization. And one of Tikvah’s modest roles in this historic moment is to provide you with the most thoughtful, sober, and serious analysis about where Israel and the Jewish world are today—and to do so in a way that serves to strengthen our Jewish resolve. Over the coming days, you’ll see more from Mosaic, the Tikvah Podcast, and our Tikvah Ideas operation more broadly as we try to help you make sense of what is unfolding in Israel. Stay tuned.
