EVENT DETAILS |
Join us for this New York exclusive opportunity to hear the riveting personal story & ideological priorities that drive Israeli writer/actor Lior Raz - the co-creator & star of the hugely popular series Fauda & the recently released Hit & Run.
This intimate conversation, moderated by renowned author Abigail Pogrebin, provides an opportunity to ask Raz about his firsthand experience in the IDF as a part of the elite Duvdevan unit where he operated as an Arab civilian in the Palestinian territories, his attempt to humanize the intractability of the Israeli/Palestinian impasse, how he balances writing & acting simultaneously, & his plans for his next project.
We'll also learn about UJA's ongoing commitment to the promise of a fully welcoming, democratic, thriving Jewish state & our investment in programs that promote economic, religious, & social inclusion.

As an IDF veteran, an Arabic speaker, & a creative artist, Raz's singular perspective enables him to shine a light on the striking commonalities between parties in conflict; the impact of PTSD not only on soldiers, but on the civilian population; & the importance teamwork & cooperation play in conflict resolution.
