Join us for a rare, one-time event featuring Israel-Is, a group of decorated Israeli soldiers turned international speakers, sharing personal, legal, and emotional insights into the ongoing war and the complex reality of life in Israel today.
Stav Cohen is a decorated combat soldier with over 12 years of service in elite IDF units. Wounded in action and now an international speaker with a law degree in international law, he offers powerful perspectives on antisemitism, collective memory, and the moral complexities of war. As the grandson of a Holocaust survivor, his voice carries deep historical and personal resonance.
Natanel Elmaliach, just 23 years old, is a former Egoz fighter who fought on the front lines and was injured during the October 7 attacks. He brings a raw and emotional story of loss and resilience as he now lives a civilian life.
Yehuda Lapian is a reserve tank commander and works at “Masa HaShihrur,” a nonprofit supporting IDF veterans coping with post-trauma. He shares his journey of healing and transforming pain into purpose while advocating for change in how Israeli society cares for its veterans.
This program offers a unique opportunity to hear firsthand accounts and engage directly with voices shaping today’s Israel.
