With war against Iran raging, join UJA, the Temple Emanu-El Streicker Cultural Center, and Jewish Community Relations Council-NY to hear from Ron Dermer in a conversation that’s timelier than ever. We’ll hear directly from Minister Dermer — the former Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs, one of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s closest advisors, and the chief negotiator for the release of the hostages after October 7 — in conversation with David Moore, chair of UJA’s Planned Giving and Endowments and president of JCRC.

Minister Dermer will share keen insight into the far-reaching implications of the Iran war for Israel and the entire region, the importance of the U.S.-Israel relationship, and the new and ongoing regional challenges shaping Israel’s future from Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas, as Israel continues to pursue a future with enduring security and stability for its people. You’ll also learn how UJA is helping Israelis caught in the line of fire and about security efforts to protect Jewish institutions across New York in this period of heightened tension.
