On February 3rd, we have the honor of hosting Omer Wenkert, a survivor whose story has reverberated across the world. On October 7, Omer was violently abducted, beaten, and taken into Gaza, where he endured 505 days in captivity in underground tunnels. His survival is a testament not only to courage, but to the unbreakable spirit of the Jewish people.

Now, on his first trip to the United States, Omer will share his story, not as a symbol, but as a human being who endured the unimaginable and emerged with hope, strength, and faith. This evening is an opportunity to honor his bravery, bring awareness to the inhumane treatment of hostages, and stand together as a united Jewish community against hatred and terror.

SCHOLARSHIP AVAILABLE BY NEED. Email [email protected] for requests.
