The Annual Francine and Abdallah Simon State of World Jewry Lecture: Bernard-Henri Lévy on Israel, Esteemed French philosopher and writer Bernard-Henri Lévy brings his signature wit and intellect to the current political state and uncertain future of Jewish communities in America, France and the Middle East. Lévy's cultural commentary generates such consistent excitement that, as the London Guardian recently noted, he is "accorded the kind of adulation in France that most countries reserve for their rock stars." He addresses the controversy over the Armenian genocide, international laws governing Holocaust denial and the state of global anti-Semitism. Part of our Israel at 60 celebration. Watch video of Bernard-Henri Lévy on the 92Y Blog. Date & Time: Wed
