More than 80 guests joined us for a fascinating and insightful evening, “Understanding Iran: What the World is Missing.” The event brought together members of the community for an engaging exploration of one of the most complex and widely discussed issues shaping the Middle East today.

Our guest speaker, Emily Schrader, shared her compelling analysis and unique perspectives on Iran, its regional influence, and the broader geopolitical dynamics affecting the Middle East. Drawing on her expertise and experience, Emily offered valuable insights that challenged assumptions and encouraged attendees to think more deeply about the issues at hand.

Emily was joined in conversation by Lilach Sonin-Keshales, Alumni Manager; Marketing, Campaigns & Events for Tel Aviv University Trust, who guided a thought-provoking discussion that explored key themes raised during the presentation. Together, they examined the complexities of the region, addressed audience questions, and fostered a meaningful exchange of ideas that resonated strongly with those in attendance.

The evening sparked lively discussion, encouraged greater understanding, and provided an important opportunity for community engagement and learning. It was inspiring to see so many people come together to listen, question, and contribute to a respectful and informed conversation on such a significant topic.

A sincere thank you to our partners, Tel Aviv University Trust, for their support in making this event possible. We are also grateful to everyone who attended, participated in the discussion, and helped create such a successful and memorable evening. We look forward to welcoming you to future events and continuing these important conversations together.
