Beth Am welcomes back Einat Wilf for a Zoom talk honoring the 75th anniversary of Israel’s independence and the birth of the modern state.  

Dr. Wilf will be discussing Israel at 75, reviewing Israel’s amazing progress and accomplishments, including Start-Up Nation and the Abraham Accords. She will also analyze Israel's challenges, including an honest, balanced assessment of the current government and the durability of /risks to Israeli democracy. There will be plenty of time for a Q&A session.
