SUMMARY:Zaidy’s Band: From Fighting Nazis to the Birth of Israel Guest Speaker: Aron Heller
DESCRIPTION:Join journalist Aron Heller as he discusses his decade-long journey to uncover his grandfather’s hidden World War II past, exposing a colourful cast of a Jewish Canadian “band of brothers” along the way. A powerful blend of memoir, history and mystery, the book reveals how even the humblest acts of World War II service shaped a generation and left a lasting impact for years to come. These men played key roles in the defining events of their time – fighting against Nazism and contributing to the establishment of Israel. Their voices, however, are not mere relics of the past. The dilemmas they faced – faith, belonging, courage and sacrifice – continue to resonate today, shaping the Jewish experience as we confront rising antisemitism and the challenges facing the Jewish state.\nAron Heller is an Israel-based writer and broadcaster, and the author of the book Zaidy’s Band, The Untold Stories of a Jewish Band of Brothers in World War II. He focuses on technology storytelling and podcasting and was previously a long-time Associated Press correspondent and journalism lecturer.\nLearn more and order the book at https://aronheller.com/ ( https://aronheller.com/ )\nMembers pre-paid NIS 40\nMembers at door and non-members NIS 60\nPurchase tickets call the box office 09-8330950 (Sunday-Thursday 8:30-12:30) or pay at the door.  Prepaid tickets available until noon on the day of this event.\nNearby Parking: (one block north of Netanya AACI, approach from the north on Shmuel Hanatziv to turn right into the driveway just before the traffic circle)\nUsing Waze: https://waze.com/ul/hsv8zcjvhf ( https://waze.com/ul/hsv8zcjvhf )\nUsing Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/teDPagS7GRUi5VzY8 ( https://maps.app.goo.gl/teDPagS7GRUi5VzY8 )\n\n
