Ignatius to give talk at Temple Emanuel

The Island Now

The fourth season of Stephen C. Widom Cultural Arts at Emanuel continues on March 13 2016 at 3 p.m., when David Ignatius offers the Betty & Harold Wolgel Memorial Lecture, “How to Fix the World: A Foreign Policy for the Future.” 

Best-selling author and Washington Post columnist Ignatius has been making sense of the world for over 40 years. 

During his career, he’s covered nearly every Washington beat, from the Pentagon to the CIA to Capitol Hill, as well as global politics, the Middle East, and economics. 

He turned his experiences with the CIA into nine thrilling bestsellers, because, as Bob Woodward said, “Few understand espionage culture as well as Ignatius.” 

For more than 15 years, Ignatius has published his twice-weekly column for The Washington Post. 

Appearing in scores of newspapers around the world, his column won the 2000 Gerald Loeb Award for Commentary, the 2013 Overseas Press Club award, and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Center for Journalists. 

It appeared in the International Herald Tribune while he was the IHT’s executive editor. 

In three decades at the Post, Ignatius has served as reporter, foreign correspondent, and editor.

Following the lecture, there will be a Q&A, book signing and refreshments.

Tickets are $15 or 2 for $25.

Temple Emanuel of Great Neck is located at 150 Hicks Lane in Great Neck.
