Reinvigorating Progressive Israel with Molad: the Center for Renewal of Israeli Democracy

Join us for a dessert reception and discussion with Daniel Sokatch, CEO of the New Israel Fund and Mikhael Manekin, Managing Director of Molad: the Center for Renewal of Israeli Democracy. Founded in 2012, Molad has quickly established itself as a leading think tank and as the go-to institution for savvy political leaders, the media, and progressive strategists in Israel. With NIF's support, Molad intends to build and reinforce a coherent, strategic policy agenda, promote it through elite channels and restore viable, intellectual leadership for liberal democracy in Israel.

Molad also engages political leadership organizations, journalists, pundits, opinion makers and diplomats providing them with fresh analysis and messaging. Its research teams also unearths findings on secret government activity that, when publicized, serves as a catalyst for real policy change.
