For decades, Yossi Klein Halevi and Daniel Taub have explored Israel’s complex story with nuance and insight. Now, they come together to discuss the challenges and opportunities of writing about the country today. Halevi’s Memoirs of a Jewish Extremist recounts his journey from being a follower of Meir Kahane to rejecting Jewish radicalism, while his New York Times bestseller Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor offers a heartfelt attempt to bridge divides. Daniel Taub, an Israeli diplomat, international lawyer and writer of British origin who served as Israel’s ambassador to the United Kingdom from 2011 to 2015, has been writing about Israel for many years. A vital conversation on Israel’s past, present, and future, chaired by author and Rabbi Julia Neuberger.
