Beth Israel Congregation

The Holy and the Broken
Kingston Book Launch
Shabbat March 21 at 12.30pm/after Kiddush

This Shabbat we are pleased to welcome Ittay Flescher, the Education Director at Seeds of Peace Jerusalem - an organisation that empowers Israeli and Palestinian youth to create more just and peaceful communities. Ittay will be discussing his recently published book that reflects on his time working in the peace-building sector in the aftermath of October 7th. Published by HarperCollins, The Holy and the Broken was a finalist in the 2025 National Jewish Book Award.

Following decades of dialogue facilitation between Jews, Muslims and Christians, Ittay believes that enemies of today can be the partners of the future.

The Holy and the Broken challenges Palestinian and Israeli leaders, citizens, and their supporters worldwide to imagine a different reality in a book that will comfort the troubled and trouble the comfortable.

This event is hosted by Beth Israel Adult Education with support from Hillel Ontario in Kingston and IPF Atid.

The first 30 people to register for the event will be eligible for a free copy of Ittay’s book. Registration link in our link in bio and will be in the Beth Israel newsletter this week.
