Distinguished Rabbi David-Seth Kirshner Releases Book Chronicling First 50 Days of the Israel-Hamas War
After the events of October 7 – his 50th birthday -- Rabbi Kirshner was left grappling with an extraordinary array of emotions. In processing his feelings and seeking to provide guidance to his congregation, he was compelled to write. What was conceived as a blog became an article and then a sermon. But he continued to write, every day for 50 consecutive days, chronicling the events on-the-ground in Gaza and his own emotional reaction. In doing so, Streams of Shattered Consciousness came to life.
- Rabbi Kirshner's in-the-moment account of the 50 days following Hamas' October 7 attacks is an incredibly timely meditation on conflict, faith, ethics and meaning.
- So many things and feelings that happened during those 50 days we already forgot -- this book will make sure it is part of history."
