Our greater community stood in solidarity as Rachel Goldberg-Polin turned unimaginable pain into fierce advocacy for the return of her beloved son, Hersh, who was kidnapped from the Nova music festival on October 7, and later murdered by Hamas. 

Join UJA Westchester to hear from Rachel about her new book, When We See You Again. Rachel will discuss some of her book's major themes, including intense grief, love, loss, devotion, and faith. You’ll also discover UJA’s work helping Israel and commemorating our community’s collective advocacy for the hostages through an innovative art initiative.
