Men's Club Lecture Open: Before The Mossad: The Nili Spy Ring

  • Ages 60+
  • May 5 at 1:15 – 2:30 pm

Join the JCC Men’s Club for a fascinating and little-known chapter of history with a special talk by Eric Steckler, MD. Journey into WWI-era Palestine and uncover a dramatic story of courage, espionage, and sacrifice. Led by siblings Aaron and Sarah Aaronsohn, a small group of Palestinian Jews risked their lives to provide the British with crucial military intelligence, helping bring about the defeat of the Ottoman Empire. Their daring actions reshaped history, paving the way for the British Mandate and ultimately the creation of the State of Israel. Open to the entire community. Attend in person or join us live on Zoom.
