In the end, as the tragedy of Gaza unfolds, his brave voice does not waver in its deter_mi_na_tion to see peace and social jus_tice come to the Mid_dle East, for the chil_dren of Pales_tine and Israel.

    Rabbi Rosove and WHC Rabbi Sue Shankman will discuss the challenges facing the American Jewish community since October 7.
