Bearing Witness - Survivor Coming to Springfield

As we are approaching October 7th, we are deeply honored to invite you to a special event featuring Amit Ganish, a survivor of the Nova massacre, who will be coming to Springfield to share her powerful story with our community.

Join us as we bear witness to Amit's harrowing escape from the Nova music festival on October 7th, 2023. Experience the resilience and courage that carried her through that fateful day and beyond. Amit, a 24-year-old Israeli law student at Bar Ilan University, has also been serving in reserve duty since the attack. Her story is one of survival against incredible odds - narrowly escaping with one friend while tragically losing another, hiding under machine gun fire for over 9 hours. Her rescue, broadcast live on TV, was the first time her family knew she was alive.

RSVP is required. You can RSVP at chabadspringfield.com/bearingwitness
