  • The American Jewish Community: New Identity Challenges After Oct. 7 with WHC

    HIGHLINE RxR 2010 Crystal Drive Arlington, VA 22202 , United States

    The killing of 1,200 Israelis on Octo_ber 7, 2023, by Hamas mil_i_tants becomes a hor_ri_ble crime that chal_lenges the core of Rabbi John Rosove's beliefs. For months, he finds him_self lost in doubt and grief and, yes, a desire for revenge. 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.

  • Poems for Our Days with the Haberman Institute for Jewish Studies

    RSVP for Woodley Park address. , United States

    Presented by Dr. Rachel Korazim, Israeli Scholar and Educator

    The calamity of October 7 and the war that followed had left Israel and the Jewish world in shock and despair. The unimaginable became our reality. As more details of the horror unfold, as we are facing the painful daily losses in battle and the plight of the hostages and their families. Not less troubling, are the terrible losses and devastation in Gaza. We find ourselves less and less able to talk about it. The expression most commonly used is ein milim -- No Words!

    Yet - some struggle and do find words to express pain and anger, despair and abandonment.

    In our session, we will read and discuss poetry written these very days. The poems are often raw and painful, while at the same time full of love and even hope. Some are in the form of prayers such as a new ÒKadish', and many reference biblical motifs, such as the Akeida or Joseph. Others address the new Òcorrect' language since one cannot say any more simple thin

  • Environmental Challenges for Israelis & Palestinians with American University

    Sarah Waxman

    Please join American University's School of Public Affair and Meltzer Schwartzberg Center for Israel Studies for the 2025 Perlmutter lecture by Israeli environmentalist, politician and academic. Dr. Tal, founder of the Green Party in Israel, will discuss sustainability challenges of the region, the profound environmental implications of the Gaza war on the future, and possible visions that can lead beyond the prevailing painful and destructive dynamics. He will present priorities for the ecological restoration of Gaza along with specific ideas for promoting regional initiatives to address the climate crisis. Notwithstanding the enormous suffering on all sides during the past year of warfare, the climate crisis will not wait for final peace agreements - and there are many new ideas on the table that can accelerate progress and healing.

  • From Bondage to Healing: Freedom to Grieve and Rebuild w/ the Haberman Institute

    RSVP for Woodley Park address. , United States

    The Haberman Institute is honored to welcome the volunteers behind the Shiloni Project, back to our community. This grassroots organization was formed immediately after October 7, 2023, by volunteers initially committed to supporting soldiers and evacuees. We invite you to learn how the Project has evolved to focus on the needs of hostage families–parents, siblings, children, and spouses–some of whom have returned, while others remain in captivity.

    Today, the Shiloni Project has developed a thoughtful, grassroots effort to support these families who have faced an unimaginable reality. These families have devoted themselves entirely to fighting for their loved ones, postponing their own healing after experiencing profound loss. While some continue the fight, others are just beginning their long journey of recovery.

    Register to learn about the Shiloni Project's key initiative: therapeutic retreats on the peaceful island of Pilion, Greece, gifting hostage families a chance to esca

  • Ghosts of a Holy War: 1929 and Roots of the Arab/Israeli Conflict w/ith HIJS

    RSVP for Woodley Park address. , United States

    Presented by Yardena Schwartz
    Journalist/Producer

    Join us for a powerful discussion with award-winning journalist and bestselling author Yardena Schwartz as she shares insights from her new book, Ghosts of a Holy War: The 1929 Massacre in Palestine That Ignited the Arab-Israeli Conflict.

    Sparked by the discovery of a box of century-old letters in a Memphis attic, Schwartz uncovers the story of a young American Jew killed in the 1929 Hebron massacre–a little-known but pivotal moment that she argues is ground zero of the conflict still raging today. Drawing from deeply personal archival material, wide-ranging interviews, and decades of context, Schwartz weaves a gripping and even-handed narrative that connects the past to the present, shedding new light on the events of October 7, 2023, and the enduring struggle for peace in the land both Israelis and Palestinians call home.
