Mitzpe’s courses turn the institute’s intelligence work into instruction. Each one is taught by a Mitzpe principal or fellow and built from the same analysis that produces Israel Brief, the Dossiers, and the books. Each runs as a briefing: current, sourced, and built for questions. Students leave with a working command of the subject and the references to keep using it. Courses are held to the same standard as everything else under the masthead.
Formats
Live cohorts meet in real time over several weeks in a seat-limited group, with discussion and direct access to the instructor, and the sessions are recorded for everyone enrolled. Self-paced courses open the same material to students who prefer to work through it on their own schedule, with lessons available on demand.
Current offering
The Jewish State: Israeli History from Mandate to October 7
Live cohort · Eight Sunday sessions · August–October 2026 · Uriel Zehavi
A chronological account of how a people returned to sovereignty, what they built, what challenged them, and what gave way when the long pause ended — from the British Mandate to the morning of October 7. The reading list is drawn from the Mitzpe Press catalog.
In development
Further courses on Israeli security, diaspora threat assessment, and the strategic challenges facing the Jewish people and the West are underway, in both live and self-paced formats. To hear when new courses open, write to courses@mitzpe.org.
