Foreign-Policy Analyst and Military Historian Max Boot to Speak at Free Lecture
Max Boot, the Jeane J. Kirkpatrick Senior Fellow in National Security Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, will be the featured speaker as part of the Dr. Bernard & Jeanette Gordon Halperin Memorial Lecture Series. Mr. Boot will appear on Sunday, April 30, 2017 at 4:00pm in the Abess Sanctuary at Temple Israel, 137 NE 19th Street, Miami, Florida, 33132. The topic of his lecture will be Israel’s Search for Security: From 1948 to Today.
Miami, FL, April 05, 2017 --(PR.com)-- This lecture is being underwritten by the Halperin families who created the lecture series to honor and remember their parents Dr. Bernard Halperin and Jeanette Gordon Halperin.
“I have vivid memories of their passionate discussions about, among other things, Jewish culture, politics, movies, and books. Quite often, the most compelling lessons my parents taught me were sugar-coated with laughter,” said New York attorney Keith Halperin.
The first lecture held in 2016 focused on Jewish humor. Professor Joseph Epstein, an essayist, short story writer, and editor, spoke to a large, enthusiastic, and appreciative audience.
“After the inaugural lecture's success, we were tempted to continue with the happy chord and devote the entire lecture series to lighter cultural fare. However, we decided this would be a disservice to our parents. They loved to laugh, but they never wanted -- and never wanted us -- to shirk away from life's more complicated challenges,” said Keith Halperin.
“In that spirit, for the second season of lectures honoring Jeanie & Bernie Halperin, we could think of no better challenge to address than the Jewish state of Israel, a nation whose very existence continued to amaze my parents, and whose evolution never ceased to delight and to confound them.”
This year, each of three anticipated lectures will look at the modern state of Israel through a distinct lens -- and shall consider Israel's accomplishments and its challenges.
A frequent guest on MSNBC, Max Boot is an independent thinker who writes prolifically about history, defense strategy, and foreign affairs. Mr. Boot is far more than an accomplished historian. He is engaged in current foreign policy challenges and debates.
He is frequently called upon to advise national leaders with respect to defense and foreign policy matters. Most recently, he served as a foreign policy adviser to Senator Rubio’s 2016 campaign. Previously, Mr. Boot advised Senator John McCain and Mitt Romney. The New York Times has called him, "A master historian," and The Wall Street Journal has referred to him as, "A penetrating writer and thinker."
Max Boot is available for interviews. To schedule, please contact Jennifer Cohen at 954 482 3071. Headshots of Max Boot are available upon request.
