An Evening with Daniel Gordis

Daniel Gordis presents his latest book, "Menachem Begin: The Battle for Israel's Soul," a fascinating biography of the sixth prime minister of Israel that explains how the pre-state terrorist became the first Israeli leader to sign a peace treaty with an Arab country.

Daniel Gordis is an award-winning author and journalist. He is a regular contributor to The Jerusalem Post, and has written for The New York Times, The New Republic and The New York Times Magazine. Professor Alan Dershowitz has called Gordis "one of Israel's most thoughtful observers." The Forward has called him "one of the most respected Israel analysts around." In 2014, the Jerusalem Post listed him as one of the world's 50 most influential Jews, while Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic says, "If you asked me, 'of all the people you know, who cares the most about the physical, moral and spiritual health of Israel?' I would put the commentator and scholar Daniel Gordis at the top of the list." Leonard Fein has written that Gordis is "perhaps the single most popular speaker on Israel to American Jewish audiences."

There will be a book signing at the event. Books are available for purchase at the Miami Beach JCC.
