SUMMARY:TBS Welcomes October 7th Hero\, Nurse\, and Survivor: Nili Margalit
DESCRIPTION:On October 7th\, Nili Margalit was kidnapped from her home in Kibbutz Nir Oz and held in the tunnels of Gaza for 55 days. A pediatric nurse by profession\, Nili became a lifeline to fellow hostages—managing medications\, offering medical care\, and providing comfort under unimaginable conditions. During her captivity\, Nili drew strength from thoughts of her 8-year-old neighbor Carmel Bar’ad\, herself a survivor of October 7th. Born with autism\, epilepsy\, and a rare genetic condition\, Carmel’s life depends on stability\, specialized care\, and support. Hear Nili’s firsthand account of survival and help honor her bravery by supporting Nili’s effort to raise funds to help provide Carmel with the care she needs to heal\, develop\, and build a hopeful future. Carmel’s father\, Eyal Bar’ad will also be with us. Light refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:"Our Tears Are the Same": Bereaved Israelis and Palestinians Reach for Peace
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we welcome two inspirational speakers – Israeli and Palestinian – from The Parents Circle – Families Forum. The Parents Circle-Families Forum is a joint Israeli-Palestinian organization made up of more than 800 bereaved families. Their common bond is the loss of a close family member to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. But\, instead of choosing revenge\, they have chosen a path of reconciliation and of pursuit of a peaceful\, safe shared society in the Middle East. Tens of thousands of Israelis and Palestinians have been positively impacted by the work of The Parents Circle and by their shared embrace of the sanctity of human life.\nWe are honored to welcome Maayan Inon (an Israeli mother of two daughters whose parents were killed on October 7th) and Sima Awad (a resident of Beit Ummar\, north of Hebron\, whose brother\, at the age of three\, was killed). This promises to be a moving and meaningful evening. Light refreshments will be served.
