Following the election\, we’ll come together again to unpack the results and explore the implications for Israel and Jews worldwide . \nGuided by Young Judaea Central Shlicha Mai Ozarko\, the series will feature prominent Young Judaea alumni working in academia and journalism\, offering expert insights and perspectives on this pivotal moment in Israel’s history. \nPart 1: Sunday October 18\, 2:00 PM ET/9:00 PM IT \nREGISTER \nPart 2: Sunday\, November 8\, 12:00 PM ET/7:00 PM IT \nREGISTER \n \nBIOS: \nMiles Dybner is a freshman from Maplewood\, New Jersey.

In addition to his involvement in Young Judaea\, Miles was the President of both his chapter’s United Synagogue Youth and the school’s Jewish Student Union. \nMiriam Herschlag is Opinion and Blogs Editor at The Times of Israel. She began her journalism career as a radio and television reporter and presenter for the Israel Broadcasting Authority’s English-language news\, and later served as Education and Training Manager at Given Imaging\, the Israeli medical-device company that pioneered capsule endoscopy. \nOriginally from New Jersey\, Miriam was active in Young Judaea and attended and worked at Camp Tel Yehuda.

He has published dozens of articles on these topics and eight books.
