Last month, we witnessed one of the most important moments in Zionist history. In the "12-Day War," Israel and the United States joined forces to defeat a sworn enemy of Western civilization, removing the preeminent existential threat to the Jewish state. This moment carries profound implications for American and Israeli grand strategy, for the future of the Middle East, for the West’s understanding of itself, and for Zionism as a whole.
After the conflict concluded, Tikvah convened a special series of conversations to help make sense of everything that had happened: Living Through History: Learning from the “12-Day War.” Just scroll down to see the lineup of conversations. Each session was hosted by Tikvah’s Jonathan Silver, and will be emailed to you as soon as you register using the form below.
