How did we get here? We could all use a refresher on modern Israeli history. Please join PJ Parent Connectors, PJ Our Way and the Sylvan Adams YM-YWHA for an informative session with local Israel expert Jeff Bicher to learn about the the current conflict in Israel and significant events in the years leading up to it. This is a safe space where we can round out our knowledge of Israel and ask tough questions.

Admission to this conversation is free, but donations are encouraged directly to Federation CJA's Emergency Israel Campaign.

Jeff Bicher is the CEO of the Sylvan Adams YM-YWHA. Jeff is also a member of the faculty at Azrieli Schools – Herzliah, where he teaches a contemporary Israel advocacy course for all graduating students.
