Sunday August 11, 2024
On Erev Tisha B'Av, the day commemorating the Temples' destruction, we gather to hear a distinguished panel on the challenges facing Israeli society today. The Swords of Iron War, which began on October 7, 2023 with Hamas’s brutal terror attack, deepened questions about our future as a people and state, especially given pre-war divisions. As we face the war's severe consequences, Tisha B’Av forces us to examine preserving our unity. Join us at the Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem for a dialogue on hope and faith in safeguarding our third period of sovereignty in the Land of Israel.
The event will take place at the Museum of Tolerance, August 11, 2024.
Seats are limited, pre-registration required.

The building's focal point is the monumental crisscrossed staircase, emphasizing that true tolerance and understanding come from engagement, listening to one another, and immersing ourselves in others' perspectives.
