Chuck Freilich – Israel Speakers 

Israel’s national security has been a life-long passion, ever since I grew up in New York and made Aliyah as a teenager. As a former deputy national security advisor in Israel and now an academic specializing in Israeli defense and foreign policy, my speaking topics cover the entire gamut of Israel-related issues. For me, speaking about Israel is both an important part of my professional life and a personal joy. I speak frequently before Jewish, academic, professional, college and general audiences. A penetrating, balanced and objective analysis is a hallmark of my talks, but they are also deeply imbued in an unabiding love for Israel. I am told that I am an unusually thought-provoking and engrossing speaker and that I successfully combine a balanced analysis of the issues, with a wry appreciation of the foibles of Israeli life.
