Adam Gopnik: The Mystery of Mastery
In Association with the Rabin Chair Forum
of The George Washington University
Adam Gopnik
Decades of writing bestselling books and award-winning essays has
seen Adam Gopnik take on myriad topics. But recently a question
obsessed him: how did the people he was writing about learn
their outlandish skill, whether it was drawing a nude or baking a
sourdough loaf?
In The Real Work the long standing New Yorker writer apprentices as
a boxer, a dancer, a driving instructor and other roles he’d assumed
beyond him. He finds that learning a skill is a process of methodically
breaking down and building up, and that the key, in any field, is
mastering other people’s minds.

The Abraham Accords
Sponsored by Dangoor Education
Jason Greenblatt | Chair: David Horovitz
In 2017 Trump Organization chief legal officer Jason Greenblatt
was appointed as an assistant to the President and special envoy to
the Middle East. In the Path of Abraham is his inside account of the
Peace to Prosperity Plan, a plan to resolve the discord between Israel
and its neighbours. The result was the ground-breaking Abraham
Accords, which normalised Israel’s relationships with the United Arab
Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco. He joins The Times of Israel
founding editor David Horovitz to discuss his unique experiences of
these historic developments and a President noted for his complex
relationship with Jewish communities.
