Two months after the horrific October 7th attack, a Northshore Jew went on a volunteer humanitarian mission to Israel along the Gaza border “where he embraced and uplifted” Israelis “ravaged by conflict while seeing and experiencing” their “path to healing.” [filmfreeway.com]. Channeling “his grief into activism,” Carey Smolensky created this powerful, deeply moving documentary and “a vibrant movement…unbreakable spirit…and enduring connection.” [JCC Chicago Film Festival].
After watching this powerful documentary together, we will talk with Carey, reflecting on hope, healing, the enduring spirit, and connectivity of the Jewish people, as well as his continuing humanitarian initiative to assist traumatized, wounded, and displaced Israelis.
