Thought provoking program with Dina Kraft “The Branch”

By Jeff Margolis, IAC Committee Member

The Israel Advocacy Committee of Jewish Federation of Greater Naples, in conjunction with the Collier/Lee chapter of Hadassah, is pleased to present a Zoom program featuring Dina Kraft on Monday, Oct. 25 at 10:30 a.m.

Kraft hosts “The Branch,” a podcast that features stories of friendships between Jews, Arab-Israelis and Palestinians. She has been a foreign correspondent based in Tel Aviv and has reported for The Christian Science Monitor as well as the Jerusalem bureau of The Associated Press. The Branch is a project of the Education and Advocacy Division of Hadassah.

Kraft’s program will highlight two recent podcasts from “The Branch.” One examines the success of the Rana Choir of Jaffa. The group of dedicated singers, comprised of Jewish, Christian and Muslim members, proves that music has the power to transcend their differences.

The other episode will focus on Ram and Roni — two advocates for peace from each side of the Israel-Gaza border.

The cost for this thought-provoking event is $18 per household. Please register at www.jewishnaples.org.
