Join Israeli author and activist Noa Tishby in conversation with Forward National Editor Rob Eshman about her new book, Israel: A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth.
A top Israeli actor and producer, Noa also pioneered Israeli-American TV shows with the sale of In Treatment to HBO: the first Israeli television show to make the leap to American TV. Since then she has also become a leading activist for Israel in Hollywood and beyond.
On the eve of the anniversary of Israel’s Independence, join Noa to talk about her life, her book and her no-holds-barred views on Israel — the good, the great and the ugly.

Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
