We are pleased to announce the solicitation of titles for the 16th annual Stefan Moldovan Prize for Israeli Security Studies. This prize has previously been awarded to authors of outstanding Israeli security works in the Hebrew language, but since last year have expanded to include works published in English.
The Trustees of the Stefan Moldovan Foundation have allocated an additional $5,000 (USD) to commemorate Mr. Moldovan, a Holocaust survivor, who throughout his life demonstrated a strong commitment to the security of the State of Israel.
We invite you to submit high quality titles (published since 2023) that make a direct contribution to the security of Israel. Suitable works include those concerning military issues, news media and security, global politics, and social media all having an impact on the security of Israel. The ceremony for the awarding of the 2026 Moldovan Prize will take place in Israel on October 13, 2026, and winners will be welcome to address the audience in Jerusalem, either in person or via Zoom. The Stefan Moldovan Prize Committee will, in addition to awarding the prize, promote the winning book on various media outlets.
Kindly attach a short bio of the author as well as a description of the book, and send 1 pdf file per title to ron@psyopil.org and two hard copies per title no later than July 15, 2026 to:
Dr. Yehuda Shalem
