Join us for a powerful and timely conversation with former Israeli Intelligence Chief Yuval Wollman and Dr. Nitzan Yehezkeli, an IDF special forces reservist. Together, they will discuss the intelligence failures that led to October 7th, how the Israeli military has been able to recover strategically, and what the future holds for the IDF.
Yuval Wollman, a member of Temple Beth Am and a Pressman parent, previously served as Director General of the Israeli Intelligence Ministry and is a veteran officer of Unit 8200, Israel’s cyber intelligence unit. Yuval has held key positions in the Israeli public sector, including Chief of Staff at the Israeli Treasury and a clerkship at the Israeli Supreme Court. He currently works as an executive in the cybersecurity industry and lives in Los Angeles with his wife and four children.
Dr. Nitzan Yehezkeli relocated to Los Angeles from Israel last year with his wife and three children. A veterinarian by profession, Nitzan spent the tragic hours of October 7th on the battlefield at Kibbutz Be’eri. In the months that followed, he served as a reservist in Shayetet 13, Israel’s Navy SEALs, where he fought in Gaza and Lebanon and served as a paramedic.
