DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, creeping demographic changes and deep politic
 al divisions have made many Israelis worry about the fragmentation of thei
 r society into several contending “tribes.” In a 2015 talk that became
  known as “The Four Tribes Speech\,” Israel’s President\, Reuven Riv
 lin\, observed that Israel was rapidly transforming from a country defined
  by a unified national ethos into one where secular\, nationalist-religiou
 s\, ultraorthodox Jews\, and Israeli Arabs increasingly possess separate i
 dentities. But some are fighting back\, seeking to renegotiate the Israeli
  social contract and rejuvenate a cohesive center.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\
 nDr. Yoav Heller is co-founder and chairman of “The Fourth Quarter”\, 
 an Israeli NGO and mass movement dedicated to rebuilding Israeli modern de
 mocratic centrism. A historian by training\, Yoav has had a rich career in
  media – including Ynet\, Israel's largest online media site\, which he 
 helped establish and in which he served as senior editor – education and
  community leadership. Yoav Heller holds a BA in Political Science and Mid
 dle Eastern Studies and an MA in Management and Education from Tel Aviv Un
 iversity. He completed his Ph.D. in History at the University of London\, 
 Royal Holloway College Holocaust Research Institute.\n\nVISITING FELLOWS I
