Virtual briefings
Virtual briefings on Israel for groups abroad
A live briefing by video from Israel, with questions from your members. It suits board meetings, donor calls, adult-education series, and moments when the news moves faster than a travel schedule.
How it works
PlatformZoom, Teams, or your own system
Length30 to 60 minutes, usually half talk and half questions
TimingIsrael is usually seven hours ahead of New York, so evening sessions in North America work well
AudienceFrom a closed donor circle to a public webinar
Subjects
- Israel and the Jewish world. Israeli politics, the war and its aftermath, and the arguments Israelis are having now, explained for audiences abroad.
- US–Israel relations and American Jewish communities. Where Washington and Jerusalem line up, where they are drifting, and how American Jews read both governments.
- Antisemitism and Jewish identity. What has changed for Jewish communities since October 7, 2023, on campuses, in city politics, and online, and how communities are responding.
- Journalism and editorial decisions. How a newsroom decides what to cover in wartime, what it leaves out, and how a paper keeps the trust of readers who disagree with it.
