Parallel Fronts: 330 days together and apart *Year 12 only session
Saturday July 11, 2026 11:15am - 12:15pm AEST
On October 7th, we, like all of Israel, embarked on an unexpected journey. Each of us took command on our own front - Gabi as a reserve company commander, and Sara as a mother, woman's community leader, and unwavering source of support. Together and apart, we’ve faced the journey of our lives, rediscovering partnership, parenthood, personal growth, challenges and faith. This lecture explores the tension between comfort and conviction - and how our choices define who we are.
