Dear Friends,

This afternoon, Jonathan Dekel-Chen, the father of Sagui Dekel-Chen – one
of the American hostages who was recently released – will join me and J
Street Chief Policy Officer Ilan Goldenberg to discuss his tireless
advocacy to bring his son home and his ongoing efforts to support other
hostage families whose loved ones are still held captive.

We’ll also discuss Jonathan’s home of over three decades, Kibbutz Nir Oz,
where Sagui was taken captive by Hamas on October 7. Nir Oz made headlines
again recently after Prime Minister Netanyahu paid his first visit to the
devastated community.

Most recently, we hosted NYC Comptroller Brad Lander to discuss his run in
the NYC Mayoral race, Zohran Mamdani’s win and the central role the debate
around Israel played in the local election. For a hint of what you can
expect, [ [link removed] ]you can watch that discussion here.

We hope you can join us this afternoon with Jonathan. As always, a
recording will be available following our discussion across platforms –
