Daniel Lischinsky and Joshua Turnil

Our special guest speakers for the afternoon on July 18 will include a father who experienced a great tragedy due to antisemitism.

Sarah Milgrim and her boyfriend, Yaron Lischinsky, were gunned down by an anti-Israel terrorist in 2025. Next Shabbat, Yaron’s father, Daniel, will be our guest speaker for our 1:30 pm class. All ages are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Daniel offers a deeply personal perspective on the human cost of antisemitism. He will emphasize the importance of choosing compassion, friendship and solidarity during difficult times.

Daniel will be accompanied by Joshua Turnil, who is uniquely qualified to address antisemitism. His Paris office is often the target of antisemitic threats and is under the constant vigilance of the French police. Also, he has worked side by side with leaders of the French Jewish community and church leaders to actively fight against antisemitism.

Tisha B’Av תשעה באב

It commemorates the destruction of the first and second temples and other major disasters and tragedies the Jewish people have endured.

At 8 pm Grace Diaz, daughter of Jim and Cathy Adler, will introduce the movie Beauty For Ashes: Seeking Hope in Israel After October 7. According to their website, “The … film shows the remarkable unity, faith, and determination to heal and rebuild during one of Israel’s darkest times. The film follows three courageous individuals: a Palestinian pastor, a Jewish mother, and an Israeli soldier.”
