SUMMARY:Remembering Yitzhak Rabin: Hope that Will Not Die
DESCRIPTION:As we approach the 30th anniversary of the assassination of Rabin we recall his vision for peace in Israel and the Middle East. The life of Yitzhak Rabin mirrored the life of the people and state of Israel. In his own words\, “The joy of the Jewish people is always mixed with sorrow – the huppah with the broken glass underneath it. The dedication of a new house with an unfinished plaster as a remembrance of the destruction of the Temples. The Passover Seder and the bitter herbs. In Israel\, the tears of Yom HaZikaron touch the circles of dancers on Yom HaAtzmaut. Rabin knew joy and victory as well as tragedy and defeat.” November 4\, 2025 will mark 30 years since Rabin was assassinated by a Jewish extremist. This three-part class is led by Rabbi Jan Katzew and will take place on Zoom.
