Breaking the Silence coming to Boston

hi there,

I'm writing to the people who attended the Breaking the Silence exhibit at the Harvard Hillel two years ago.  (hopefully this is reaching only Boston folks ;)  They're coming to the U.S. in late February, and I wanted to let you know about it.  These are 2 evening events; they're working on daytime events at Tufts and the Hebrew College.  I'll attach one flyer, and if you're able to print it and pass it out, that would be great!

Breaking the Silence:
Israeli soldiers speaking on the moral price of occupation
Highlighting the Experience of Female Soldiers

Tuesday, Feb 23, 7-9pm  
Congregation Eitz Chayim
136 Magazine Street, Cambridge, MA
 
Wednesday, Feb 24  7-9pm
Temple Hillel B'nai Torah
120 Corey Street, West Roxbury

 

Breaking the Silence is an organization of veteran Israeli soldiers who served in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.  The soldiers were witness to, and participated in, military actions which changed them immensely. Dana Golan, veteran IDF lieutenant, is the executive director of Breaking the Silence.  She will present a talk based on interviews with female IDF soldiers about their experiences in the Occupied Territories.  Join us for this unique opportunity to hear the perspective of female IDF soldiers.

 

Breaking the Silence believes that "every Israeli citizen must know what is being done in his/her name in the Occupied Territories."
