Remembering and Rebuilding

In the wake of the devastating attacks on October 7th, we had the opportunity to meet with survivors and family members from one of the communities hardest hit.

Remembering and Rebuilding - A Conversation with Kibbutz Kfar Azza Survivors

We heard from residents of Kibbutz Kfar Azza—about what they experienced that day and in the following weeks, about their efforts to rebuild, and about what we, as a Jewish community, can do to support them.
