    Join us for a powerful and timely seminar with Dr. Yizhar Hess as he explores "The Day After"—how Israeli society will emerge from the tragedy of October 7 and the vital role American Jews can play in shaping Israel's future.

    Drawing on his extensive experience in Jewish communal leadership and advocacy for pluralism, Dr. Hess will offer insights into Israel's path forward after this national crisis. He will discuss the social, political and cultural rebuilding necessary for Israel and how global Jewish communities can engage meaningfully in this process.

    A 10th-generation Jerusalemite, Dr. Yizhar Hess has dedicated his career to Jewish communal service and advancing Jewish pluralism in Israel. He previously served as the Executive Director of the Masorti Movement in Israel (2007–2020) and has been a leading voice in the negotiations for egalitarian prayer at the Kotel. Currently, he serves on the Executive of the Jewish Agency, the Board of Trustees of Keren Hayesod and the Board of Governors of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Dr. Hess holds a PhD in sociology and education from Sussex University and advanced degrees in Jewish studies, political science and law. His diverse experience spans community leadership, journalism and advocacy, making him uniquely positioned to address Israel's evolving future.

    Don't miss this important discussion on resilience, rebuilding and responsibility.
