When Ambassador David Friedman entered the halls of the Rambam Mesivta, many students quickly greeted him. They recognized him from a previous visit, where they garnered first-hand insights into the current Middle East crisis. Rambam’s Rabbi Zev Meir Friedman (no relation) referred to this when he said, “Over the past year, I have spoken to many people in school, at a kiddush, Shabbos table, and other venues, and all had different opinions in terms of how Israel should conduct herself. However, it should be noted that all of these opinions were those of outsiders. Today, we have the unique opportunity to hear from a true insider who helped mold policy in the Middle East.”
