POSTPONED* An Evening with Nili Margalit: Hero, Nurse, Survivor
Thursday, Mar 19th 7:30p
*Due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, the Evening with Nili has been postponed. A new date is currently TBD. We will share an update as soon as we are able to reschedule. Thank you for your understanding. On October 7th, Nili Margalit was kidnapped from her home in Kibbutz Nir Oz and held in the tunnels of Gaza for 55 days. A pediatric nurse by profession, Nili became a lifeline to fellow hostages - managing medications, offering medical care, and providing comfort under unimaginable conditions. Today, Nili uses her voice to fight for those who cannot fight for themselves. -
