Conversation with Sheryl Sandberg: Screams Before Silence

A Wider Bridge is proud to be sponsoring a Jewish Community Conversation about the film Screams Before Silence. We invite you to join Sheryl Sandberg and National Council of Jewish Women CEO, Sheila Katz, to discuss the importance of bearing witness, lifting up the silenced voices of the October 7 attack, and demanding justice. 

Screams Before Silence, is a powerful documentary that captures first-person testimony from survivors, first responders, forensic experts, eyewitnesses, and released hostages from the attack by Hamas in Israel on October 7th. Their harrowing accounts reveal the uncompromising truth: that Hamas used sexual assault as a weapon of war.
