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.

Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
