Eyewitness to Atrocity: Author Amir Tibon in conversation with journalist Susan Glasser

Hear the gripping true story of how leading Israeli journalist Amir Tibon, along with his wife and their two young children, were rescued from Kibbutz Nahal Oz on Oct. 7, 2023, by Tibon’s own father — an incredible tale of survival that also reveals the deep tensions and systemic failures that led to Hamas’ attacks that day.

In The Gates of Gaza, Amir Tibon tells this harrowing story in full for the first time. He describes his family’s ordeal — and the bravery that ultimately led to their rescue — alongside the histories of the place they call home and the systems of power that have kept them and their neighbors in Gaza in harm’s way for decades. The event will feature Tibon in conversation with acclaimed New Yorker writer Susan Glasser. A book signing will follow the program, which kicks off the Amram Scholar Series at Washington Hebrew Congregation
