Live Performance of “October 7”
May 5 at 4:00pm
at the UJCVP
Join the UJCVP for the live performance of “October 7” with actor and Rabbi Haggai Lober, who lost his son, Yonatan, in battle in Gaza on Dec. 25, 2023. The performance is a one-man show exploring how bereaved families in Israel cope with their loss, while strengthening Jewish resilience. Rabbi Lober will share about Yonatan’s bravery, the pain and struggle of living without him, and what gives him – and us – strength and hope to continue living.
The show is in Hebrew with subtitles, followed by a Q&A in English.
The performance is free and open to the public, however advanced registration is required.
Click here to RSVP.
