History & Conflict

Deep-dive sessions on the Israeli-Arab conflict — its roots, its turning points, and its human dimensions. Delivered with academic rigour and tailored for Latvian audiences, drawing parallels with Baltic history.

Media Literacy: Facts vs Lies

A flagship lecture series teaching audiences how to identify disinformation about Israel and the Middle East. Practical tools, real case studies, and open discussion — because an informed public is the best defence.

Jewish Identity & Culture

Talks that explore Jewish history, traditions, and contemporary life — from the meaning of Shabbat to the role of diaspora communities. Designed to strengthen pride and foster understanding beyond the Jewish community.

Debates & TV Appearances

JEWNITED.LV members actively counter anti-Israel propaganda in televised debates and media appearances — bringing informed, calm, fact-based voices to the mainstream public conversation.

Featured speakers

Ezra Mor

Israeli historian and public intellectual. Delivered the sold-out lecture "Fakti pret mēliem" (Facts against Lies) in Riga, August 2025 — 80+ attendees, followed by an extended Q&A session.

Miriam Zalmanovich

Expert educator, invited to present at Limmud Baltics 2025 through JEWNITED.LV's expanding network of academic partners.

David Lipkin

Community educator and international conference delegate. Represented JEWNITED.LV at the Netaim Annual Conference in Bucharest alongside our lecture programme.

The lecture wasn't just informative — it was a turning point. For the first time I had language to respond to the misinformation I see every day in my feed.
