Yoav Yaron was born and raised in the Jewish community in Gush-Katif in Gaza, where his family lived until the Israeli government completely withdrew from Gaza and removed all its Jewish residents in 2005 in a decision known as the “disengagement” or “uprooting”.

This is the personal story of Yoav’s life, the communities Yoav grew up in, and their experiences before during and after the events of 2005.

This is not a political talk, nor an analysis of the current conflict in Gaza, though it does add an important historical context.

This talk is a joint program of Chabad of New Canaan and the United Jewish Federation of Greater Stamford, New Canaan & Darien.
