Since October 7th, Israel has endured unimaginable terror. As hostages are returned, the world is learning of their suffering—but few have had direct access to their stories.
Join us for a powerful evening with Glenn Cohen, Hostage Debrief Team Leader and Former Mossad Chief Psychologist, one of the only officers cleared to share his firsthand experience.

6:45 PM: VIP Reception (for sponsors)
7:30 PM: Program
Since October 7th, Glenn served over five months in emergency reserve duty in
the IDF Hostage Negotiation Unit, where he was designated to be the first mental
health professional to meet the released hostages upon their return to Israel.
Subsequently, he wrote the protocol for recovering the returned hostages and
leads a team of psychologists who debriefed the 147 hostages so far and are
prepared to receive the remaining hostages upon their release..
This is an extraordinary opportunity to hear the realities of captivity, survival, and resilience in the face of horror and evil. Glenn will share what the hostages endured, how they coped, and the invaluable lessons we can all take from their extraordinary strength.
