Rabbi David Ebstein and his wife Rena Magun

May 1, 2024 Presentation

Israeli-Americans who have lived in Israel for almost 30 years. They have come  to Aurora to speak about what is going on in Israel. They are meeting with as many audiences as possible to try to share the perspective of the average Israeli citizen. The moral equivalence and unnuanced approach employed by the media is deeply troubling to them; as is the dissonance between Israel's portrayal in the media and their reality as Israeli citizens witnessing unprecedented national unity, heroic acts of bravery, and continuing resilience. Finally, David and Rena want to share with all of us the impossible dilemmas faced by all Israelis daily.
