Relating to Israel’s Trauma as North American Jews with Rabbi Dr. Joshua Ladon

Wednesday, November 29, 7:00-8:30 Online Only

North American Jews experienced the Oct. 7th attacks as observers, witnesses, and victims. Each of those roles manifest a different type of response to the trauma that occurred. And, as Jews are anything except a monolith, the North American Jewish community is now responding to the trauma of Oct. 7th in a myriad of ways. Click here to register.
