THE GATES OF GAZA:
A Conversation with Amir Tibon
|
Sunday, May 18, 2025
7:00 pm, Haverkamp Room
Westminster Presbyterian Church
Amir Tibon is an award-winning diplomatic correspondent for Haaretz and the
author of The Gates of Gaza: A Story of Betrayal, Survival, and Hope in Israel’s
Borderlands (Little, Brown, Sept 2024), which tells the gripping true story of how
he, along with his wife and their two young children, were rescued from Kibbutz
Nahal Oz on October 7, 2023 by Tibon’s own father—an incredible tale of
survival that also reveals the deep tensions and systemic failures that led to
Hamas’s attacks that day. The story was featured on 60 Minutes and the film
rights been optioned by Leviathan Productions, with Avi Issacharoff and Lior Raz
(Fauda) set to write the script.

The Board of Lady Managers of Inova Alexandria Hospital invites you to a benefit performance of THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG at 8:00 pm on Wednesday, June 11, 2025 at the Little Theatre of Alexandria, 600 Wolfe Street, Alexandria.
The Board of Lady Managers (BLM), the Auxiliary of Inova Alexandria Hospital, is an organization of women of faith dedicated to providing financial aid, volunteer service, and support to the hospital.
Is it a classic murder mystery? Well, things don't always turn out the way they were written. It's curtain time, your leading lady is unconscious. The corpse has disappeared. The actors are tripping over everything. Who moved the scenery? Whose line is it? This is not a mystery - it's mayhem!
Admission is $45, Patrons are $65, and Benefactors, $125. Proceeds benefit the Board's current pledge to purchase a Glide Scope Core for the Emergency Department and an Ultra Life High Stroke/Low Profile Caster for the Surgery Department.
For tickets, call AAC Sisterhood Representative Barbara Brenman 703-548-9485, or go to the Board of Lady Managers website www.boardofladymanagers.org.
