Voices from Israel - Israel and the Arab World: Where Do We Go From Here? With Benjamin Rogers, AJC Director, Middle East and North Africa Initiatives
Wednesday, May 28th 7:30p to 9:00pThis is an extraordinary moment for the Middle East. While October 7 will forever be a devastating reminder of the power of hatred, the world is witnessing tectonic changes. Israel and its Arab partners now have an opportunity to reshape the region for generations to come, and regional stakeholders are facing an inflection point: do they allow the forces of radicalization and division to return, or do they use this moment to build a more stable, more interconnected Middle East? This program will examine the key opportunities and challenges facing the region at this critical juncture and the potential pathways toward lasting peace and cooperation.
Voices from Israel – The Second Front: Women Standing Strong
Sunday, Jun 8th 1:00p to 2:30pJoin a Powerful Conversation Across Oceans American & Israeli Women Together on One Screen In the midst of Israel’s ongoing conflict, Israeli women, both active-duty and reserve, are carrying an extraordinary burden. They serve on the frontlines and the home front, balancing military duty, motherhood, careers, and a deep sense of mission. We invite you to a meaningful Zoom conversation with these inspiring women. Hear firsthand stories of resilience, sacrifice, and purpose. Understand the emotional and physical challenges they face, and connect with their strength, determination, and hope. This is more than a dialogue, it’s a bridge between communities. Your presence matters. Your support matters.
