We are proud to have Dr. Anat Balint, the inaugural Jeffrey B Plevan Chair in Modern Israeli Studies at the Arizona Center for Judaic Studies (University of Arizona) speak on “Israel after October 7 Attack” on Sunday, January 28 at 9:45 a.m.

Dr. Balint will share with us an Israeli’s viewpoint on the massacre, the war in Gaza and the impact on Israeli society.

She received her undergraduate degree from Hebrew University in Jerusalem, graduate degree in Social Psychology from Tel-Aviv University and PhD in media and communications from University of London, Balint was a journalist in Israel for many years and, among other things, covered the Israeli media industry for the Distinguished Haaretz daily newspaper.

SaddleBrooke Freethinkers provides a forum for the responsible search for truth and meaning in understanding and solving human problems by applying science and reason. We believe that tolerance, compassion, equity and civility should characterize interactions among people and organizations. We strive to achieve these goals through meetings, lectures and discussions.
