The Israel Brief Tour
Clarity under pressure + truth in person
The Israel Brief Tour brings the Brief to life — field intelligence, history, and moral clarity shared face-to-face with those who still believe truth is worth defending. Uri Zehavi delivers the briefing, drawing from The Daily Brief, The Long Briefs, and his books Holiday From History and Rooted Truth. Each stop adapts to its audience — policy forum, campus, synagogue, or community center. The goal stays constant: clarity and conviction.
It’s not a lecture series. It’s a live intelligence report for readers who want to understand, not just react.
What to Expect
Each event is tailored. Uri connects the day’s intelligence threads to long-range history, showing how the same moral choices recur across centuries. Some talks track Israel’s strategic realities; others confront the West’s moral fatigue and what must replace it. Hosts often request themes drawn from The Long Briefs or the books — adjusted to their audience’s focus and depth.
Books are available for sale and signing at all events.
Sample Themes + Topics
October 7 and the return of history
Israel’s role as the front line of liberal civilization
The West’s collapse of clarity and the cost of comfort
The new antisemitism disguised as activism
Jewish resilience as civilization’s immune system
Uri’s style mirrors the Brief itself — concise, factual, unapologetic. The aim is comprehension (not choreography).
Israel Shelanu — ישראל שלנו
Photography + Memory by Modi Zehavi
At select venues, the tour features Israel Shelanu (ישראל שלנו) — a fine-art photography exhibit by Modi Zehavi that extends the Brief’s mission of clarity and endurance.
Israel Shelanu means “Our Israel.” It is both ancient and alive.
Israel is memory — of history, tradition, and values.
Israel is living — with pain and with joy, together.
Israel is old and new — where the eternal city meets the light rail.
Israel is ours — in the land and in the diaspora.
Through Yerushalayim’s stone, Tel Aviv’s steel, and the light between them, Israel Shelanu captures the meeting of faith and modernity, endurance and daily life.
The exhibit travels alongside the tour as schedule and space allow.
