Noa Tishby is a two-time New York Times best-selling author and Israel’s former Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism and Delegitimization. Washington Hebrew Congregation is proud to welcome her for this special conversation.

Tishby will engage in a wide-ranging and deeply personal conversation that weaves together Israeli history, Zionism, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with an unflinching look at how antisemitism shows up today — in media, pop culture, politics, and online spaces. Drawing on her experience in Hollywood and global media, she’ll unpack how narratives about Israel spread, why complex realities are often flattened into slogans, and how misinformation gains traction. Tishby will also reflect on Jewish identity beyond Israel, generational shifts within the Jewish community, and the tensions between cultural connection and politics. Throughout, she’ll share practical insights on advocacy — how to speak up in polarized environments, handle backlash and online hate, and navigate visibility, criticism, and leadership as a woman in male-dominated industries.
