Hezbollah Drone Attack Injures 18 Israeli Soldiers Amid Escalating Tensions
A Hezbollah drone strike injured 18 Israeli soldiers along the northern border with Lebanon, fueling fears of a larger conflict. Over 60,000 Israelis remain evacuated from the area, with Secretary of State Blinken warning that Israel has “effectively lost its sovereignty” there.
Endorsements
“It was an honor and privilege to host Jordan Herzberg at the St. John’s Wood Shul. His talk was well received, informative, and delivered at a critical time in the story of our people. Jordan offered a unique insight and perspective on Israel, particularly regarding events on the northern border. You could hear a pin drop throughout his talk.”

I am pleased to recommend Mr. Jordan Herzberg, who served as a speaker for our AJC (Project Interchange) seminars. With his extensive background in foreign policy, defence, and security, Mr. Herzberg shared invaluable insights during our sessions. His personal experiences added depth to the discussions, and he was highly appreciated by all participants. I wholeheartedly endorse Mr. Herzberg for any future opportunities and am confident that he will excel in his endeavours.

We were privileged to have Lt. Colonel Jordan Herzberg join us at Congregation Bnai Torah in Longmeadow, MA for a Shabbaton weekend.
He was a very engaging speaker. Listeners were energized, greatly informed and came away with a much better understanding of the dilemmas that Israel and the IDF face. Quoting an attendee, “He really has his finger on the pulse of what is happening.” We-myself included- learned that sometimes our preconceived notions were incorrect. He touched on Israeli politics but did not speak as someone from the Right or the Left rather as someone representing the entire people of Israel. It was a pleasure to host him and to have him and his family participate fully in our Shabbat.

Over the last several years, Jordan Herzberg has spoken to many visiting groups from abroad who came on Israel Maven tours, covering topics including Jerusalem, geopolitics and security. Our groups are always struck by his enthusiasm and deep knowledge of Israeli society.
I would highly recommend using Jordan for topics relating to contemporary and current issues.

This past year Jordan Herzberg gave a lecture on Israel’s security situation to a group of leaders from one of the most powerful Jewish communities in the world. He had complete mastery of the material, and expressed himself in a clear, easy to understand manner. Jordan was able to keep the audience’s interest peaked throughout the talk, and kept the audience engaged in the follow up Q&A.
