"Is Israel the Chosen State" with Michael Oren

Описание: “For many of its secular pioneers,” writes former Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren in his most recent SAPIR essay, “Zionism was a revolt against chosenness. It was an attempt to become a nation like every other.” Today, especially after October 7, many Israelis are reevaluating this very notion and wondering: is the Jewish state chosen, and if so, for what purpose?

On Monday, September 8, Ambassador Oren joined SAPIR Editor-in-Chief Bret Stephens in conversation on Israel’s identity and destiny in a post-October 7 world.
