Jewish and Israeli life today in Germany

ldad Beck is the Berlin-based correspondent of the Israeli daily “Yedioth Ahronoth.” He has been covering Germany, Central Europe and the EU since 2002. He is one of the rare Israeli journalists who reported from countries such as Iran, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Afghanistan about major events in the Middle East. Born in 1965 in Haifa, Eldad studied Arabic and Islamic studies at the Sorbonne university in Paris.

He was Middle East affairs correspondent with IDF Radio and the newspaper “Hadashot”, as well as Paris-based correspondent for IDF Radio, the Jerusalem Report, the Jerusalem Post and Israel’s Channel 2.

His first book “Beyond the Border” was published in 2009 in Israel. 'Germany, at Odds' was published in Israel in 2014. 'Germany, at Odds' is a personal journey of an Israeli journalist through this challenging country at the beginning of the 21st century. The book questions many assumptions about “the new Germany”: Is there really only one Germany or such a thing as “a German mentality”? is Germany a strong and stable democracy in the heart of Europe? Have “the Germans” really confronted their past?

'Germany, at Odds' is an invitation to see Germany differently.
