Back to the Future: Why 2026 Feels Like 1977 to Israelis?

Join us for an evening of learning and conversation with Professor Amichai Magen from Stanford University.

Israel’s 1977 elections marked not only a historic transfer of power from Labor Zionism to Likud but also a deep structural shift in the country’s social fabric and political identity. As Israel approaches high-stakes elections in 2026, many observers see strong echoes of that earlier transformation—the moment known as the Ma’apach (“The Turnover”).
