A conversation about two days of singular importance: 10/7, and the future date when the Israel-Hamas War ends.

With one eye on the tragedy of 10/7, whose consequences we are still reckoning with, and another on the future after the Israel-Hamas War, please join us for a conversation with Israeli journalist Lee Yaron, the youngest-ever winner of the Jewish National Book Award for her work 10/7: 100 Human Stories. In addition to sharing the human stories of the 10/7 victims—which included Bedouins and Israeli Arabs, Thai and Nepalese guest workers, peace activists, elderly Holocaust survivors, Ukrainian refugees, pregnant women, and babies—Lee will also discuss Israel’s future and answer questions from our audience.

In 10/7: 100 Human Stories, Yaron profiles victims from a wide range of communities—depicting the fullness of their lives, not just their final moments—to honor their memories and reveal the way the attack ripped open Israeli society and put the entire Middle East on the precipice of disaster. Ultimately, 10/7: 100 Human Stories shows that the tragedy is much greater than the violence of the attacks, and in fact extends back through the entire Netanyahu era, which propagated a false image of Israel as a technologically advanced, militarily formidable powerhouse so essential to the region that it could continue to ignore and undermine Palestinian statehood indefinitely.

After our moderated discussion/Q&A with Lee Yaron, we will invite audience members to light yahrzeit candles for the victims of 10/7.
