- **Event Name**: A Special Evening with Award-Winning Israeli Journalist Lee Yaron
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 26 Oct, 2025 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us for an October 7th commemoration and presentation on “The Future of Israel – Hope and Resilience” with award-winning Israeli journalist Lee Yaron, winner of the Jewish Book of the Year Award and featured on Forbes’ coveted 30 Under 30 list for 2025.

Yaron’s book “10/7” is the definitive account of the 10/7 attacks through the stories of its victims and the communities they called home.

On October 7, 2023—the Sabbath and the final day of the holiday of Sukkot—the Gaza-based terror group Hamas launched an unprecedented assault on the people of Israel. Crashing through the border, attacking from the sea and air, militants indiscriminately massacred civilians in what became one of the worst terror attacks in modern history, and the most lethal day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust.

A radically passionate work of investigative journalism and political critique by acclaimed Israeli Haaretz reporter Lee Yaron, “10/7: 100 Human Stories” chronicles the massacre that ignited a war through the stories of more than 100 civilians. These stories are the products of extensive interviews with survivors, the bereaved, and first responders. It profiles the diversity of victims and survivors: from left-wing kibbutzniks and music festival partiers to radical right-wingers, from Bedouins and Israeli Arabs to Thai and Nepalese guest workers, from peace activists and elderly Holocaust survivors to Ukranian and Russian refugees.

At a time when people are seeking a deeper understanding of the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and how internal political turmoil in Israel has affected it,

“10/7” takes a fresh approach, offering answers through the stories of everyday people who lived tenuously on the border with Gaza. Rather than focusing on their last moments, this award-winning book weaves together rich human stories with larger historical and political contexts.

Please arrive early to view the J’s “October Seventh” Exhibit from the ANU Museum of the Jewish People in Tel Aviv Exhibit on display Oct. 9-31.
