This morning the BZD joined our guide Evgenia Kempinski as we stepped into the post-WWII era of the USSR, where Jewish survivors returned to a landscape scarred by devastation and silence. Amidst this silence, the KGB undertook relentless efforts to obliterate the memory of the Holocaust. However, against all odds, Jews displayed remarkable resilience.

“Fireside Chat” with Tal Brody

Tuesday, April 16 at 11:00 AM (ET)

Join the BZD and Tal Brody as he discusses his remarkable journey, which began with his Aliyah to Israel after the 1965 7th Maccabiah Olympic Games. This marked the start of an illustrious career that has left an indelible mark on Israel’s history. At just 34 years old, Tal was awarded the prestigious Israel Prize, the highest civilian honor in the country, a testament to his exceptional contributions.

Tal’s legacy in Israel’s sports landscape continued to blossom as he was chosen to light the torch on Independence Day, symbolizing his national significance. He proudly carried this torch to open the 9th Maccabiah Olympic Games. As the captain of Maccabi Tel-Aviv, Tal led the team to a historic victory, securing Israel’s first European Basketball Championship. His influence transcended sports, and he was acknowledged by The New York Times as one of the top ten immigrants who have shaped Israel’s landscape.
