This year’s General Assembly marked 30 years since the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister and Peacemaker Yitzhak Rabin. With so much that has happened in these decades, and the past two years in particular, we partnered with SAPIR Journal to host a debate about the future of the two-state solution. 

Arguing in favor of it was Michael Koplow, the Chief Policy Officer of Israel Policy Forum. In the opposition, we had John Podhoretz, editor of Commentary Magazine. The debate was moderated by Tamar Ish-Shalom, a journalist and news anchor for Channel 13 News Israel.

Still, after all these incidents, we knew that it was once again time for action. The safety and security of all Americans in our places of worship and communal gathering is the responsibility first and foremost of the government, so we mobilized representatives from over 100 communities for an emergency mission to Washington.

Their economic recovery was faster, and their rates of stress and trauma were lower.

In this episode of The Glue, we speak to Dr. Daniel Aldrich, Director of the Security and Resilience Studies Program at Northeastern University, and one of the foremost scholars on Resilience, who has also done quite a bit of research on resilience in Israel and the Gaza Envelope, in particular, even before the October 7th attacks, most recently serving as an advisor to Tkuma, the government’s rebuilding task force. You can learn more about Daniel Aldrich's work on resilience in this presentation about natural disasters.

We also speak with Jewish Federations of North America’s Vice President of Israel and Overseas and Israel Office Deputy Director Rina Goldberg, who has been instrumental in helping allocate funds from the the astonishing $860+ million Israel Emergency Campaign Jewish Federations have raised. 

She helps us understand how resilience and resilience-building fit into our efforts to help Israel recover and rebuild its communities.
