Special Program with Avi Melamed: Clarity Amidst Chaos
Sunday, October 27 at 2 - 3:30 PM
The event will feature an important and distinct apolitical briefing to provide participants with a nuanced context of how Hamas’s attack on Israel has led to violence and military actions in other areas of the region and will reflect on this moment in the history of Israel and the Middle East.
