This event\, in particular offers a unique chance to engage with stories of courage and resilience while bearing witness through both conversation and immersive technology.” \n\n\n\nThe event is free.

DESCRIPTION:Strength in the Tank\, Inspiration in Life \n\n\n\nJoin us for a powerful afternoon with Commander Karni\, who led the Israel Defense Forces’ all-female tank crew during the defense of a kibbutz on October 7\, 2023.

Today\, Karni continues to share her experiences\, inspiring others with the lessons she learned on and off the battlefield. She looks toward the future with a vision of service\, strength\, and building bridges for the Jewish people. \n\n\n\nThis event is free. RSVP required.
