October 7 changed life for Jewish communities around the world in ways few could have imagined.

Join Elwood Shule, YJP Melbourne and YACS for a special panel discussion featuring three remarkable individuals whose voices, advocacy and community involvement became far more prominent in the period that followed.

Hear directly from Simonne Whine, Zara Cooper and Sharon Kuperholz as they share their personal experiences, what changed for them after October 7, what compelled them to speak up, and what they have learned along the way.

A panel conversation about people, community, identity, resilience and the experience of finding your voice when circumstances suddenly demand it.

Real people. Real stories. Real impact.
