Join Yachad for a discussion with university students who will be sharing their experiences on campus over the past year. We’ll be discussing challenges that they’ve faced in both Jewish and non-Jewish student spaces, as well as how they’ve overcome the false pro-Israel/pro-Palestine dichotomy to instead advocate for peace, equality, and justice.

Sybil visited the Beta Israel in Gondar every year from 2008 till 2019. Now, it is impossible to go because of the underreported but brutal civil war. Jews are caught in the cross-fire, and particularly vulnerable to kidnap. Nevertheless, there are stories of great resilience and, despite everything, an unwavering determination to get to Israel.

This session imagines Moshe and Tzipporah in couples therapy. What are their strengths and their gripes as a couple? What are the contexts for their relationship? What unhelpful patterns have they slipped into and what might help? Can we support them (and maybe ourselves) to more connected relationships? Alma is a couples and family therapist.

For millennia, humans have gathered in dark times to sing together, raising their voices, spirits, and light. Guided through melodies old and new, we shall do the same. Can we invite our voices to rise, feel ourselves part of the whole, and let our light shine? All are welcome- no singing experience required!

On 7th October 2023, I got into an ambulance and headed South. I was able to help save many lives, often while under the terrorists' fire. Along with the terrible scenes I witnessed, I saw up close the unbelievable strength and heroism of our great nation. Since then I have been traveling around the world and sharing my experiences from that fateful day.
