October 7, Three Years Later: What Have We Learned?
Three years after October 7, what have we truly learned—and what are we still refusing to confront? Join historian Rafael Medoff for a sharp, unflinching conversation examining the political failures, military realities, and human consequences that continue to shape Israel and the Jewish world. This timely discussion challenges assumptions, surfaces hard truths, and asks what must change moving forward.
Dr. Rafael Medoff is founding director of The David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies, in Washington, D.C., and the author of more than 20 books about the Holocaust, Zionism, and American Jewish history. Dr. Medoff has taught Jewish history at Ohio State University, Purchase College of the State University of New York, Yeshiva University and elsewhere, and he is a Fellow of the Finkler Institute of Holocaust Research at Bar-Ilan University. He is former associate editor of the scholarly journal American Jewish History, and has contributed to the Encyclopedia Judaica, Jewish Women: A Comprehensive Historical Encyclopedia and other leading reference volumes.
His forthcoming book’s title is The Road to October 7th: Hamas, the Holocaust, and the Eternal War Against the Jews.
