As the war in Israel continues and antisemitism rises globally, our Jewish and Israeli-American community needs spaces for meaningful dialogue and connection.
This unique event brings together distinguished speakers to explore the IDF’s ethical code – a framework that bridges Israel’s democratic values with Jewish historical ethics.
Dr. Raviv Allon, from the IDF’s elite rescue unit 669, will share firsthand experiences of providing medical care in impossible conditions to both Israeli
soldiers and uninvolved Palestinian civilians.
Dr. Yakir Englander will provide a comprehensive analysis of the IDF’s moral code, explaining its core principles, practical implementation, and the complex ethical decisions
it guides in combat situations.
Together with Dr. Yair Lev and Rabbi Geri Newburge, they will examine how these ethical guidelines shape Israel’s military operations while upholding humanitarian values.
Space is limited to 75 participants
