Join us for a powerful and inspiring conversation with award-winning journalist and author Lee Yaron, as she discusses her groundbreaking book, 10/7: 100 Human Stories. As Adam Gopnik of The New Yorker called it: "A masterpiece of journalism, and of what can only be called humanism." Rather than focusing on loss, Yaron's work offers readers something rare: an intimate, ground-level understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through the hearts and homes of its people. Through deeply humanizing profiles of more than 100 victims of the October 7, 2023 attacks, Yaron weaves a sweeping, compassionate account of lives lost, communities shattered, and a nation forever changed. This is not just a retelling of a single day; it’s an intimate, investigative look at the lives behind the headlines, the pain and complexity of the Israeli - Palestinian conflict, and the fractured politics that continue to shape the region.
At just 30, Yaron is the youngest-ever winner of the National Jewish Book Award's Book of the Year (2024), placing her alongside literary giants Philip Roth, Elie Wiesel, and David Grossman. Her book has also received The Natan Fund's Winter 2025 Notable Book Award and has been named to Forbes' coveted 30 Under 30 list 2025. Join us for a catered lunch before the discussion begins. Books will be available for purchase.
