Elliott Abrams has been directly involved in some of the most consequential policy battles of our time—from the Soviet Jewry movement to the Reaganite strategy to win the Cold War, from advancing human rights around the world to fighting the war on terror, from strengthening the US-Israel relationship to confronting the Iranian threat. He is also one of the most important foreign policy thinkers of our time, including important books on the Israel-Palestinian peace process and the larger goals of American foreign policy. Less well known, he is also the author of an important book on the future of American Jewish life. In this conversation, Mr. Abrams will reflect on his wide range of experiences in the American, Israeli, and Jewish arena, and discuss how he sees Tikvah’s role in advancing a new Jewish strategy for the challenges ahead.
