Dara Horn:

Horn received her doctorate in Yiddish and Hebrew literature from Harvard University.
Jonathan Greenblatt:
Jonathan Greenblatt is CEO of ADL (the Anti-Defamation League), the world’s leading anti-hate organization with a distinguished record of fighting anti-semitism and advocating for just and fair treatment to all. In his book, “It Could Happen Here,” Greenblatt sounds the alarm that anti-semitism is gathering momentum in the United States, and that confrontation on a more catastrophic scale could be just around the corner. Jonathan joined ADL in 2015 after serving in the White House as director of the Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation. Before that, he cofounded Ethos Brands, the company that launched Ethos Water, founded All for Good and served as a senior executive at realtor.com.
David Friedman:
As the United States Ambassador to Israel from March 2017 until January 2021, Ambassador David Friedman successfully guided unprecedented diplomatic advancements in the US – Israel relationship, including moving the United States Embassy to Jerusalem and recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. He also is among a small group of American officials responsible for the “Abraham Accords” — peace and normalization agreements between Israel and the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco — for which he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2021. Ambassador Friedman was recognized in each of the past five years by the Jerusalem Post as one of the 50 most influential Jews in the world, coming in first in 2020. He also was named one of the 20 Most Impactful Persons of the Past Decade by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. Ambassador Friedman is the Founder of The Friedman Center for Peace through Strength which works to build upon the Ambassador’s achievements in strengthening the US-Israel relationship.
