Jay Michael Swartz Memorial Event: An Evening with IDF Lt. Colonel Jordan Herzberg
Join IDF Lieutenant Colonel Jordon Herzberg for a rare, behind-the-scenes look at what the Israeli Defense Forces have been confronting—both before and since the events of October 7. Lt. Col. Herzberg offers an unflinching, first-hand account of how the IDF balances military necessity with a relentless commitment to moral conduct—often in the most complex and high-stakes environments on earth.
Herzberg brings not only battlefield experience but also a deep strategic perspective. As a seasoned track-two diplomat, he has negotiated ceasefires and brokered delicate agreements between Israeli Prime Ministers and Arab heads of state, even drafting documents reviewed by prime ministers and kings.
This is not a talk about war—it’s a talk about conscience, complexity, and the untold reality of Israel’s fight for survival.
