Thursday, October 15; 11:30 am -12:30 pm ET / 8:30 - 9:30 am PT / 6:30 - 7:30 pm Israel

Three years after October 7, Israeli society is still struggling to come to terms with what happened and with what has been done since. How can we hold love for Israel together with honest reflection? In the complexity of Israel's response to October 7, what might heshbon hanefesh look like for our people, recognizing our choices and taking responsibility for them?

Rabbi Zach Truboff, author of Zionism in Crisis: Jewish Power and Moral Responsibility After October 7, will lead a conversation on these questions. Zach and his family live in Jerusalem where he serves as the Director of the International Beit Din Institute for Agunah Research and Education. You can read his bio <here>.

Rabbi Truboff is generously offering a free copy of his book Zionism in Crisis to members of the Rabbinical Assembly. To order a free copy add your name and mailing address here.
