CANCELLED: Illusions, Facts and Israel’s Moment of Truth

Due to the evolving situation in Israel, Professor Dan Ben-David will be unable to travel from Israel to join us. We hope to find another time to host Professor Dan Ben-David will be sure to update the community if and when this event is rescheduled. 

In the aftermath of the transformative events of the past two years, Israel stands at a crucial juncture, necessitating significant policy shifts to secure its future.

Professor Dan Ben-David, the founder and president of the Shoresh Institution for Socioeconomic Research, provides a compelling analysis of Israel’s pressing domestic challenges. Based on briefings delivered by Shoresh experts to leaders across Israel’s political spectrum in the summer of 2024, Prof. Ben-David shares the Shoresh Institution’s latest findings. These findings warn that without timely intervention, critical issues such as the impact of Israel’s education system and demographic trends pose substantial risks to the nation’s security and stability. Providing a unique long-term international perspective on Israel’s internal challenges, Prof. Ben-David outlines a framework encompassing four key areas essential for steering the nation towards a sustainable trajectory.
