Event Details

Description

Since October 7, 2023, Rachel Goldberg-Polin and Jon Polin have tirelessly advocated for the release of their son, Hersh Goldberg-Polin z"l, and all the hostages. Hersh, a 23-year-old American-Israeli, was wounded and abducted by Hamas during the Nova music festival massacre. He was held hostage in Gaza for nearly 11 months, until his body was recovered from a tunnel in August 2024.

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Rachel and Jon, whose powerful voices represent the heart of our work – from standing in solidarity with our global Jewish community to advocating for those impacted by terrorism.
