A Better Israel in a Changing Middle East

A special reception with NIF CEO Daniel Sokatch. This event is invitation-only.

As the Jewish New Year begins, Israel is faced with a changing landscape and a region in turmoil. Between new threats to democracy and the real potential for progressive breakthroughs, the pressure is on civil society to adapt and shape Israel's future. The stakes for social justice in Israel are as high as ever.

How can the New Israel Fund family of organizations best position itself to meet these challenges and fulfill the democratic vision of Israel's founders?

You are invited to an intimate conversation with New Israel Fund CEO Daniel Sokatch on the latest trends in Israeli society and their implications for progressive social change.
