Reporting in a Time of War: A Conversation with New York Times Correspondent Isabel Kershner

Due to the critical need for her reporting on the ground in Israel, we will be shifting this talk with NYT Journalist Isabel Kershner to a webinar format. Kershner will be joined by Journalist and Stanford Professor Janine Zacharia. Together they will explore this unprecedented moment in Israeli history and society, grappling with the questions it raises for Israelis and their future — what holds Israel together, what forces threaten its future, who is an Israeli?. Their conversation will draw both from Isabel Kershner’s recent book, The Land of Hope and Fear: Israel’s Battle for its Inner Soul, and from recent and ongoing events of the Hamas massacre of Israeli civilians and the escalating Israel-Hamas war.
