Join us for a community conversation as we explore the role that a spreading messianic vision for the Jewish State has played on the ongoing push for judicial overhaul in Israel. Our guest speaker will be attorney Yair Nehorai, author of "המהפכה השלישית" or "The Third Revolution", a book which delves into the core principles behind this transformative vision which aims to establish Israel as a Jewish state governed by the principles of the Torah.

Through an in-depth examination of Nehorai's work, attendees will uncover the delicate balance between religious ideals and political realities, gaining a profound understanding of the ideological bedrock of this vision. The session will further dissect the fundamental tenets of the messianic transformation, exploring its potential ramifications for Israeli society, its legal infrastructure and its governance. Deliberations will also encompass the potential repercussions for Israel's multifaceted population, the evolution of its cultural identity, and its positioning on the global stage.

Nehorai is a human rights lawyer and a member of the legal defense team for protestors in Israel. He is also an esteemed writer recognized for handling prominent cases associated with some of Israel's most radical religious factions. Once a devotee of religious Zionism, Nehorai authored "The Third Revolution," a work that delves into the teachings of the rabbinic leaders central to the messianic movement.
