We are eleven months into the war with no end in sight. Many of you will remember that directly following the brutal Hamas attacks of Oct. 7th, Allied Voices for Israel (AVI) launched our AVI Wartime Briefings series of five emergency workshops designed to empower and educate our community to combat antisemitism and hatred.
Our series included workshops such as From Dialogue to Impact, Setting the Record Straight, Combating Anti-Jewish Hatred and Identifying Antisemitism, and Understanding Jewish Indigeneity to Israel.
Today, we are launching our AVI Wartime Briefings: 11 Months Later to provide further skills and tools to students and community members alike.
These three emergency workshops are open for Canadians to learn more about the current climate almost one year after the brutal Hamas attacks that changed our collective consciousness forever. The workshops will be led by IDF Colonel (Res.) Grisha Yakubovich and AVI Director of Education Gabriela Rosenblum.
Please register and find out more information about the workshops below.

Students and community members join for AVI Wartime Briefings in December 2023
SESSION ONE: 11 Months Later, Where are We Now? with IDF Col. (Res) Grisha Yakubovich. Sunday, Sept. 15 at 11am ET.
This is a fast-paced overview of Israel's position 11 months into Israel's war with Hamas after the brutal attacks of October 7th that changed our lives forever. There is no one better suited to discuss Gaza and the current war than Col. (Res) Yakubovich.
SESSION TWO: A Brief History of the State of Israel with AVI Director of Education Gabriela Rosenblum. Tuesday, Sept. 17 at 8pm ET.
How did Israel become a sovereign state? What are the disputed territories? How do we have conversations about Israel while also sharing important history about the region? Join us for this important workshop as Rosenblum gives attendees a brief history of the State of Israel.
SESSION THREE: The Nuances of Language with AVI Director of Education Gabriela Rosenblum. Tuesday, Sept. 24 at 8pm ET.
When engaging in discourse, it is important to establish operational definitions so all parties can discuss the topic on an equal playing field. The language you choose to use has many implications in conversations about the Arab-Israeli conflict. This presentation integrates psychological concepts to explore these implications, equipping participants to engage in varied environments.
