Dr. Alex Sinclair, Chief Content Officer for Educating for Impact, will share his unique view of Israel as both an Israeli and a scholar and author. He has written and spoken widely on Jewish education, Israel-Diaspora relations, and Israeli politics, in both academic and popular contexts and has worked or consulted for many of the finest Jewish educational and communal institutions in North America, Europe and Israel. His first book, Loving the Real Israel: An Educational Agenda for Liberal Zionism, was a finalist for the National Jewish Book Award in 2013, and his debut novelPerfect Enemy, was published in November 2023. Both books are available in our Maxwell Abbell Library.
