Reflections on Identity and Community Post-October 7

It has been one year since the Hamas-led attack in southern Israel, in which more than 1,200 people were killed and more than 240 hostages taken. Nearly 100 hostages, including American citizens, remain in captivity according to the Israeli government. The war in Gaza, which has killed 41,500 people and has resulted in a dire humanitarian crisis, continues. This hour of Forum, we will hear from Bay Area Jews as they reflect on this past year and how it has affected their relationship with Israel, Judaism and their friends and neighbors.

Guests:

Jessica Kirschner, rabbi and executive director of Stanford University Hillel

Jacqueline Mates-Muchin, senior rabbi, Temple Sinai, Oakland
