About the author: Neil Rogachevsky teaches at the Straus Center for Torah and Western Thought at Yeshiva University and is the author of Israel’s Declaration of Independence: The History and Political Theory of the Nation’s Founding Moment, published in 2023 by Cambridge University Press.

While the Jewish state has no written constitution—an absence at the very heart of the country’s current political disputes—it does have a declaration of independence, deliberately modeled on the American one. Neil Rogachevsky tells the story if its composition, and the intellectual currents behind it, in conversation with Bill Kristol. (Video, 74 minutes.
