A briefing on Israel and Iran

The Jewish Education Project
June 17, 2025

As the conflict between Israel and Iran continues to unfold, Jewish educators face the vital task of understanding its implications, addressing community questions, and providing informed perspectives.

Join The Jewish Education Project and Dr. Michael Koplow, Chief Policy Officer at The Israel Policy Forum, for an up-to-the-minute briefing on Israel at War with Iran, and what it means for the immediate and long-term future of Israel and the region. We will be in conversation with Michael and will explore how educators can synthesize the critical information for ourselves and our communities.
