Date & Time: Wednesday, April 16, 2025, 7 pm Palestine time (noon, Eastern Time)

Title: Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza: A Reckoning 

After Gaza, where Jewish texts, history, and language have been deployed to justify mass slaughter and starvation, Peter Beinart argues, Jews must tell a new story. After this war, whose story will echo for generations, they must do nothing less than offer a new answer to the question: What does it mean to be a Jew?

Speaker: Peter Beinart, Professor at Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York. 

Moderator: Assaf Kfoury, Professor of Computer Science at Boston University, member of the BLS Steering Committee, and member of IUS organizing committee.
