Featured Speaker: Michael Oren
Statesman, historian, soldier, author, Michael Oren has had long and distinguished career. Born in New York and educated at Princeton and Columbia, Oren moved to Israel in the 1970s, serving as a IDF lone soldier in the paratroopers. He later served as an advisor to Israel’s delegation to the UN, to former Foreign Minister Abba Eban and to Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. In 2009, Michael Oren was appointed Israel’s ambassador to the United States. Returning to Israel, Oren was elected to Knesset—Israel’s parliament—where he headed a classified committee on international affairs. Currently, Oren is the president of the Hadas Malka Center supporting Israel Border Police and their families, and is the founder of Israel 2048, dedicated to stimulating and facilitating dialogue on Israel’s future.
