SUMMARY:Healing a Nation: Israeli Trauma Initiatives Post-October 7

SUMMARY:Even Still?: Haredim and the Draft since October 7
DESCRIPTION:In a landmark decision on June 25\, the Israeli High Court ruled unanimously that since June 2023—when the last draft-exemption law expired—no legal mechanism exists to exempt Haredim from the draft and the government must work to enlist them immediately. In the months since\, this decision and the outcry that it prompted from the Ultra-Orthodox community have continued to make the headlines. The human costs of fighting a multifront war since October 7 have only intensified the debate. \n \nThe BJC invites you to join a webinar with Professor Noah Efron\, author of Real Jews: Secular vs. Ultra-Orthodox and the Struggle for Jewish Identity in Israel\, who will unpack the history of the Haredi draft exemption law\, the significance of the High Court’s decision\, and the ways in which it has been received by different segments of Israeli society. \nREGISTER HERE. \n

SUMMARY:10/7: 100 Human Stories
DESCRIPTION:The recently published book 10/7: 100 Human Stories is a masterful work of investigative journalism by acclaimed Haaretz reporter Lee Yaron\, chronicling the October 7 massacre that ignited a war through the stories of more than 100 civilians. These stories are the products of extensive interviews with survivors\, the bereaved\, and first responders in Israel and beyond. At a time when people are seeking a deeper understanding of the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and how internal political turmoil in Israel has affected it\, 10/7 takes a fresh approach\, offering answers through the stories of everyday people\, those who lived tenuously on the border with Gaza. \nThe Baltimore Jewish Council invites you to a conversation with Lee who will share some of the stories she heard and speak about her experience of writing this book and the insights she gained. A book signing will follow the program. \nA subsidized copy of the book can be purchased in advance for $10 or on the night for $15 (cash only – retail price $30).* \nQuestions? Contact Kate McDonald (kmcdonald@baltjc.org) \nRegister here.  \n* Please note this is an in-person program only. In the event you have purchased a book in advance and then are unable to attend the program\, we will make arrangements for you to receive your book.

SUMMARY:Maryland Premiere of the Torn Documentary
DESCRIPTION:‘Torn’ delves into the heart of the controversy surrounding the ‘KIDNAPPED’ poster campaign\, which turned New York City’s streets into unexpected battlegrounds for pro-Israel and pro-Palestine activists. What started as a seemingly straightforward effort to raise awareness for the 240 hostages quickly escalated into an emotionally charged ‘paper war\,’ mirroring the complexities of a war thousands of miles away. \nPlease join Baltimore Hebrew Congregation and community partners for an evening that explores the “KIDNAPPED” campaign\, the Antisemitism that followed in NYC and around the globe\, and the true issues at stake that run far deeper than just tearing down posters. \nTo register\, click here.
