עברית בהמשך **[Sign up Here](https://tickchak.co.il/93164?ref=nwc)** **AYN RAND Con TLV — A New Path to Victory** **Location:** Nahum Gutman Museum of Art, Tel Aviv Why has the war lasted so long? Could it have been conducted differently? How do the ideas we hold shape our lives? October 7th, the way many states and universities responded to it, and the grinding war that followed should raise urgent questions for any thinking Israeli who cares about their life, their freedom, and the country they live in. **AYN RAND Con TLV** will take on the hard questions, cut to their intellectual core, and present a worldview fundamentally different from what you hear today. Through Ayn Rand’s distinctive philosophy—treating freedom, individualism, and human reason as exalted values—our speakers will analyze the war in Gaza. They will argue why secularism, a rational moral code, and a deep love of human life demand a decisive, uncompromising defeat of the enemy. You will encounter a new way to look at the war and at Israel—and, more fundamentally, a radically different way to think about your own life and happiness. This is a first-of-its-kind event in Israel, featuring speakers and experts from around the world. It is for people who take ideas, truth, and justice seriously. It is for people whose lives matter to them. If that’s you—especially if you’re young—this conference is for you. **Reserve your seat early.** **Featured speakers:** * **Tal Tsfany** — President & CEO, Ayn Rand Institute * **Dr. Aaron Smith** — PhD (Philosophy); Senior Fellow & Educator, Ayn Rand Institute * **Dr. Nikos Sotirakopoulos** — PhD (Sociology & Politics); Lecturer & Writer, Ayn Rand Institute * **Boaz Arad** — Founder & CEO, Ayn Rand Center Israel * **Mosab Hassan Yousef (“The Green Prince”)** — Exclusive live Zoom interview * Additional speakers to be announced. **Agenda:** **8:00 AM – Arrival & Registration** **9:00 AM – Opening Remarks – Tal Tsfany** **9:15 AM – Israel’s Moral Right to Exist as a Free, Western Nation – Nikos Sotirakopoulos** **10:00 AM – Objectivism: A Philosophy of Life for the Living – Aaron Smith** **10:45 AM – Coffee Break** **11:00 AM – Philosophy and Happiness – Tal Tsfany** **11:50 AM – Panel: How Rand’s Ideas Impacted My Life – Michael Kauffman, Guy Gavrieli, Iyar Raichel, Itamar Feldman** **12:30 PM – Lunch Break** **1:15 PM – Q&A Panel** **1:55 PM – Elan Journo conducts a Zoom interview with the “Green Prince” Mosab Hassan Yousef** **3:00 PM – Closing Remarks – Tal Tsfany** [Please sign up here](https://tickchak.co.il/93164?ref=nwc) עברית: **[הרשמה באתר](https://tickchak.co.il/90051)** **AYN RAND Con TLV — דרך חדשה לניצחון** **מקום:** מוזאון נחום גוטמן לאמנות, תל-אביב למה המלחמה נמשכת כל כך הרבה זמן? האם היינו יכולים לנהל אותה אחרת? כיצד הרעיונות שאנחנו מחזיקים מעצבים את חיינו? השבעה באוקטובר, האופן שבו מדינות ואוניברסיטאות רבות הגיבו לו, והמלחמה הנגררת שהתנהלה מאז—כל אלה צריכים לעורר שאלות דחופות אצל כל ישראלי חושב שאכפת לו מהחיים שלו, מהחופש שלו, ומהמדינה שבה הוא חי. **AYN RAND Con TLV** יעסוק בשאלות הקשות, יחתור לליבה האינטלקטואלית שלהן, ויציג השקפת עולם השונה מהותית ממה ששומעים היום. באמצעות הפילוסופיה הייחודית של איין ראנד—הרואה בחירות, אינדיבידואליזם ותבונת האדם ערכים נשגבים—הדוברים שלנו ינתחו את המלחמה בעזה. הם יטענו מדוע דווקא חילוניות, מוסריות ואהבת חיי אדם מחייבות הכרעה נחושה ובלתי-מתפשרת של האויב. תוצג לכם דרך אחרת להביט על המלחמה ועל ישראל—ובעומק רב יותר, דרך שונה בתכלית להתבונן על החיים והאושר האישי שלכם. זהו אירוע ייחודי וראשון מסוגו בישראל, עם דוברים ומומחים מרחבי העולם. הוא מיועד למי שמתייחס לרעיונות, לאמת ולצדק ברצינות. הוא מיועד לאנשים שחייהם חשובים להם. אם אתם כאלה—ובמיוחד אם אתם צעירים—הכנס הזה בשבילכם. **הבטיחו את מקומכם ורכשו כרטיסים מוקדם.** **בין הדוברים:** * **טל צפאני** — מנכ״ל ונשיא מכון איין ראנד (ARI) * **ד״ר אהרן סמית׳** — דוקטור לפילוסופיה; חוקר ומרצה בכיר במכון איין ראנד * **ד״ר ניקוס סוטירקופולוס** — דוקטור לסוציולוגיה ופוליטיקה; מרצה וכותב במכון איין ראנד * **בועז ארד** — מייסד ומנכ״ל מרכז איין ראנד בישראל * **מסעב חסן יוסף (“הנסיך הירוק”)** — ראיון זום בלעדי לכנס תוכניה: * **08:00** **פתיחת דלתות והרשמה** * **08:45** **דברי פתיחה - טל צפאני** * **09:10** **הזכות המוסרית של ישראל להתקיים מהיותה מדינה חופשית ומערבית - ניקוס סוטיראקופולוס** * **10:00** **איך הפילוסופיה של איין ראנד רלוונטית לישראל - אהרון סמית׳** * **10:45** **הפסקה** * **11:00** **התמורה על ההשקעה בפילוסופיה: פילוסופיה ואושר - טל צפאני** * **11:50** **פאנל: איך רעיונותיה של איין ראנד השפיעו על חיי - מייקל קאופמן, אייר רייכל, איתמר פלדמן, גיא גבריאלי** * **12:30** **ארוחת צהריים** * **13:15** **פאנל שאלות ותשובות** * **13:55** **ראיון זום עם ״הנסיך הירוק״ מסאב חסן יוסף. מראיין: אילן ג׳ורנו** * **15:00** **דברי סיום - טל צפאני** **[הרשמה באתר](https://tickchak.co.il/90051)**
