In this episode of Jerusalem Post and Jewish National Fund-USA’s Zionist Talks, Jerusalem Post's writer and editor Corinne Baum hosts Emmy Award-winning filmmaker, actor, and journalist Yuval David to discuss his lifelong connection to Zionism and the importance of storytelling in shaping Jewish identity. For David, Zionism is not a new movement but an enduring thread of Jewish resilience, hope, and peoplehood that spans thousands of years.

Emphasizing that Zionism should be defined by Jews themselves, not by its critics, David advocates for a new era of the “strong, bold, brilliant Jew.” From confronting antisemitism on social media to promoting education and community through initiatives like the World Zionist Village, David demonstrates how Jewish voices can reclaim the narrative and inspire pride across generations.
Drawing on his background in media and activism, David explains why storytelling is vital to Jewish life, culture, and advocacy.
The World Zionist Village, global campus for Zionist education and engagement, is the most ambitious initiative in the Jewish world today to bring together people of all ages, background and religions for a new conversation on Zionism.
