Professor Paul Eidelberg

Internationally known political scientist, author and lecturer, is the founder and president of the Israel-America Renaissance Institute (I-ARI) with offices in Jerusalem and Philadelphia.

Dr. Eidelberg served in the United States Air Force where he held the rank of first lieutenant. He received his doctoral degree at the University of Chicago, where he studied under the world-renowned professor Leo Strauss. Before immigrating to Israel in 1976, Prof. Eidelberg wrote a trilogy on America’s founding fathers: The Philosophy of the American Constitution, On the Silence of the Declaration of Independence, and A Discourse on Statesmanship.

In 1976 he joined the faculty of Bar-Ilan University. He has written several books on the Arab-Israel conflict and on Judaism. Demophrenia analyzes the mentality of Israel’s ruling elites. Jewish Statesmanship, which has been translated into Hebrew and Russian, reveals the flaws inherent in Israel’s system of governance and how they may be remedied by means of a Judeo-American Constitution which he has designed. His book Toward a Renaissance of Israel and America seeks to transcend the ideological malaise of both countries.

In addition to writing more than 1,300 articles for newspapers and scholarly journals in the U.S. and Israel, he has a weekly program on Israel National Radio.

Prof. Eidelberg has lectured throughout Israel and the United States on a broad variety of subjects, especially on the malaise of Israeli democracy. His basic theme is: How to make Israel more democratic by means of Jewish principles, and how to make Israel more Jewish by means of democratic principles.
