Announcing Talk17

Update: We’ve launched our Talk17 crowdfunding campaign! Click here to learn more.

American Friends of Ariel is excited to announce the upcoming launch of a brand-new platform: Talk17.

2017 is a big year for Israel. It’s 50 years since the Six-Day War and 100 years since the Balfour Declaration.

Following our highly successful prep2017 conference – which briefed over 30 pro-Israel organizations about the upcoming year – we decided to continue the conversation in the public sphere.

Talk17 will allow the public to learn about Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria (“the West Bank”) – by providing TED-style talks with voices you’ve never heard before.

We’ll be featuring speakers from all different backgrounds, with different stories, around different themes – all of them vital to the story of Israel post-1967.

Talk17 events will be held at the Ariel Center for the Performing Arts in January, and made available globally.

We’d love for you to join us on this learning journey – sign up below for updates or to attend the first Talk17 event. Stay tuned for more info!
