• How has it been to be living in Israel through the tragic events of October 7th until today? How might we apply a Mussar lens to these most difficult months? What have we learned through this experience? How has it changed us and how might this inform what we do going forward? Why and how is a focus on compassion such a vital component of our Mussar journey, now more than ever?

3:07 pm - 3:30 pm     Presenting the Israel Reel: "Compassion in Action"

• When compassion is directed to the wrong places, chaos emerges. However, total chaos can sometimes transform into an opportunity for rebirth. On October 7th, Israel experienced a horrific lack of compassion and humanity, and yet from this lowest point emerged a stronger, united, and more compassionate nation. Witness the transformative powers of compassion as we explore its impact on the Jewish nation.
