In response to the Hamas attacks on October 7th, over 50% of Israelis have volunteered their help. The volunteers come from every sector of Israeli society, and have done everything from repairing bomb shelters to providing free therapy and more. Additionally, Israelis have donated hundreds of millions of shekels, giving at unprecedented levels. Many of these donations are relatively small–only a few hundred shekels.
Join Professor Yehudah Mirsky for a series of conversations with three leading figures from Israeli civil society to hear about how diverse groups of Israelis are responding to the aftermath of October 7th, and what it can teach us about Israeli society as a whole. Attend as few or as many of the conversations as you wish.
Previously: November 20 – Professor Michal Muszkat-Barkan, Jerusalem Civilian Command Center and Hebrew Union College (HUC).
