Conversations on Zionism:
Reclaiming the Narrative: Stand Up and Fight Back

August 2 4:30 pm

As the son of Soviet Refuseniks, Alex Ryvchin learned that a
lie repeated often enough becomes the truth and felt he had no
choice but to stand up and fight back – which is the advice he
offers to all. In his latest book, “Zionism: The Concise
History,” he speaks about the true beauty of the Zionism
movement, how inconsequential moments were woven together to
corrupt that beauty, and how it’s time for all to stand up and
fight back!
Featuring: Alex Ryvchin Co-CEO of the Executive Council of Australian
Jewry and Author
Russell F. Robinson Chief Executive Officer, Jewish National
Fund-USA
