An educational program of AIC
The Mitzpe Institute
Mitzpe is AIC’s educational program for research and analysis. Its Israel Brief is an assessment of Israeli security and the Middle East, out Monday to Thursday, and its analysts show their sources and say how sure they are. The Flash Brief is free.
Who it’s for: anyone who wants to understand what happened in Israel without waiting for the evening news.
- Israel Brief subscribers
- 10,000+
- Countries reached, and all 50 states
- 95+
- Briefs published
- 250+
- Long-form dossiers
- 35+

- The full Israel Brief, Monday to Thursday
- The Closed Dossiers, Vantage and Watchwords
An initiative of AIC
Kosher Duck Revolution
Cheryl Dorchinsky took a whimsical trend, people hiding little rubber ducks for strangers to find, and gave it a Jewish spin. Every duck carries a QR code, and every find drops a pin on the sightings map: the Chagall windows in Jerusalem, a cruise-ship buffet in the Bahamas, a burger joint in Athens. Ducks have turned up in more than fifteen countries so far.
Who it’s for: families, kids, chapters, and anyone who’d like to leave a little Jewish joy where a stranger will find it.
How it connects
- Every duck adopted helps fund AIC’s education, community and relief work
- Your membership goes to the same work

Your part
- Missions run on volunteers and on gifts to AIC
- Membership is one of those gifts, monthly or yearly
Book club
The AIC Book Club
One book a month, read together and discussed live. Free for AIC members — you only buy the book. Come for the month you have read and skip the one you have not.
Uri Zehavi picks the books and hosts the conversation, and the list leans toward books we didn’t publish.
Who it’s for: any reader. You don’t need to have read anything before, just the month’s book.
With your membership
- Free at every level, from Friend ($9 a month) up
- Open to members only
Briefing
Mitzpe Quarterly Briefing
Four times a year, the Mitzpe Institute’s research presented for AIC — what the analysis found and what it means for this community.
Who it’s for: anyone who’d rather hear the analysis presented live than read it.
With your membership
- Free from Supporter ($18 a month) up, all four sessions
- Everyone else: $18 a session, or $54 for all four
