SUMMARY:Becoming Israel - 2025
DESCRIPTION:Becoming Israel\nStaged Reading of an Original Play + Talkback with R. Amichai Lau-Lavie & Lab/Shul’s Leaders\n\nSunday\, April 27\, 2025\n6:15 Doors | 6:30-9:30pm ET Program\nNYC*\nJoin us for a staged reading & talkback of highlights from Becoming Israel\, an original play written by Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie\, directed by Annie Levy\, and staged by Storahtelling in 2008 to mark Israel’s 60th year.  \nRevised for today’s context\, Becoming Israel serves as a thought-provoking entry point for facilitated discussions on modern-day challenges\, questions and realities of Israel/Palestine and Jewish identity.  \nThis event – led by Rabbi Amichai and Lab/Shul’s leadership – opens the week that holds the complex narratives of Israel’s existence\, with commemoration of losses\, celebration of survival and creation of ceremonies for hope\, healing and peace for all the people who consider the holy land their home.  \nMore on Becoming Israel:\nBecoming Israel intertwines three parallel lives—Leah\, a Biblical wife; Rachel\, a Holocaust survivor; and Jake\, a young American on his first trip to Israel—who discover their shared story and common name: Israel\, “The One Who Struggles with Life.” This powerful narrative examines the intersections of individual identity and collective memory\, offering a closer look at the legacy of Israel and its relevance in our current global reality. Originally created by Rabbi Amichai and Storahtelling artists in 2008\, Becoming Israel was revised in 2025.   \nQuestions? Email sylvie@labshul.org. \n*NYC address provided upon RSVP \n\n*Registration is now closed; Unfortunately\, no walk-ins

SUMMARY:Israeli-Palestinian Joint Memorial Day Ceremony 2025
DESCRIPTION:Israeli-Palestinian Joint Memorial Day Ceremony\nApril 29\, 2025\n8:30pm Jerusalem / 1:30pm EST\nONLINE\nAbout the Ceremony \nThe Joint Memorial Day Ceremony\, organized by Combatants for Peace and The Parents Circle Families Forum\, is one of the largest Israeli-Palestinian jointly organized peace events in history. The Joint Memorial Ceremony provides a unique opportunity for Israelis and Palestinians to grieve together and stand strong in demanding an end to the occupation and ongoing violence. The ceremony occurs yearly on the eve of Yom HaZikaron (Israeli Memorial Day). In Israeli mainstream culture\, the ceremonies that are most often held to honor this day serve to reinforce cultural narratives of pain\, victimhood\, and hopelessness. The Joint Memorial transforms this narrative by bringing Palestinians to the Memorial alongside Israelis to mourn side by side and model another way forward. \nOn April 29\, 2025\, we will gather for the Israeli-Palestinian Joint Memorial Day Ceremony\, in a powerful act of defiance against the forces that seek to divide us. Now in its 20th year\, the Joint Memorial is a beacon of hope in the darkness. Through testimonies from bereaved Israeli and Palestinian families\, musical performances\, and messages of peace from human rights leaders\, we will prove that even in the face of unimaginable loss\, we can still choose humanity over hatred and hope over despair. The ceremony will take place at 8:30 pm Jerusalem time / 1:30 pm ET. \nREGISTER >>
