Stop Being Shocked: Bari Weiss Tells It Like It Is

Many thanks to all of you who joined us on October 29, for the annual Aspen event, A Candid Conversation with Bari Weiss. Among the topics she covered were her generation’s views on Israel and the historic normalization processes with countries like Bahrain, the UAE, and Sudan. Never one to shy away from difficult issues, Bari talked about cancel culture, leaving the New York Times, and the importance of connecting with those whose opinions differ from yours. She put to rest rumors about a future in politics, while she cemented her reputation as a knowledgable and astute observer of our current political moment.

We heard from many of you after the event ended, and it was clear that both Bari’s frankness and her perceptiveness made this one of the most compelling Zoom events you’ve attended. And that’s saying something.
