Join David Harris, former Chief Executive Office of the American Jewish Committee (1990-2022) in conversation with Jeff Robbins, for a timely, incisive and impactful discussion of the issues currently confronting the Jewish people locally and around the globe.

Described by the late Israeli President Shimon Peres as "the Foreign Minister of the Jewish people," David Harris has spent nearly 50 years in global Jewish advocacy. Meeting with 10OOs of world leaders, he has grappled with some of the toughest challenges facing the Jewish people, Israel and liberal democracies. His first book, On the Front Lines, is his gripping and very personal account, in conversation with Agnieszka Markiewicz, of a life journey that began in the home of wartime survivors, landed him in Soviet detention, and led to his becoming the most decorated Jewish professional by governments in American history.  A second book on Antisemitism is due out soon.

Jeff Robbins is a litigator, former US Delegate to the United Nations Human Rights Commission, and is a weekly columnist for the Boston Herald, writing about politics, foreign policy and national security issues.  He is the former Chairman of the New England Board of the Anti-Defamation League, and the former President of the World Affairs Council of Boston.

Federation Knosh and Knowledge programs are held monthly and take place at Hevreh of Southern Berkshires.
