The War in Gaza has everyone concerned, for many reasons: the rise in anti-Semitism, the rising death rates in Gaza, the continued containment of hostages and prisoners, the end of the war is not in sight.
How do we think about this conflict? How do others think about it?
Join us for a series of presentations by different organizations within our local community to gain a deeper understanding of the various views surrounding the conflict. Seating is limited for each event, so please be sure to register in advance.
