Manage episode 382652176 series 3490658
If you missed last week's webinar, you can now listen to the conversation between with faculty members from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev Professor Simon Barak and Dana Gavish-Fridman, and Rabbi Greg Weisman.
Ben-Gurion University of the Negev sits 25 miles from the border with Gaza and was significantly impacted by the October 7 terrorist attacks. More than 60 BGU students, staff, faculty, and family were either murdered, kidnapped or missing. Since then, the University has transformed, turning dorms into army barracks and homes for displaced families, and mobilizing students and, staff to support the war effort.
They shared how the war in Israel has impacted Ben-Gurion University, the work of Soroka Medical Center that serves the southern part of the country and which treated 1,000 patients in its emergency room on the day of the attack, and how it has affected them personally.
Organizations we encourage contributions to include the following:
- The Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County is raising money to support Israel’s defense and recovery efforts.
- Magen David Adom is supporting Israel’s rescue and medical resources.
- The Israel Movement for Progressive Judaism is supporting the families of Israel’s Reform congregations.
- Please also consider a contribution to Yozma, Temple Beth El’s sister congregation in Israel.
