Speaking

I give keynotes, moderate on-stage conversations and fireside chats, and hold private briefings for institutes, foundations, and community boards.

Israel and the Jewish world

Israeli politics, the war and its aftermath, and the arguments Israelis are having now, explained for audiences abroad.

Sample talk: The Israel you knew is gone. What replaced it.

US–Israel relations and American Jewish communities

Where Washington and Jerusalem line up, where they are drifting, and how American Jews read both governments.

Sample talk: Why American Jewry won't tell Israel the truth.

Antisemitism and Jewish identity

What has changed for Jewish communities since October 7, 2023, on campuses, in city politics, and online, and how communities are responding.

Journalism and editorial decisions

How a newsroom decides what to cover in wartime, what it leaves out, and how a paper keeps the trust of readers who disagree with it.
