In a truly unique event, Israel Bonds, the Blue and White Club, and Young UJIA hosted around 40 young professionals to hear Natalie Sanandaji’s share her powerful story of how surviving the brutal attack at the Nova Festival on 7th October 2023 led her from being a partygoer to becoming a dedicated Jewish activist.

Natalie spoke of her life after that terrible day, describing how it spurred her to leave her career as a real estate agent in New York and dedicate herself to working for the Combat Antisemitism Movement.

She shared how, despite the traumatic experience suffered on October 7^th, dedicating herself to Jewish advocacy has given her a sense of purpose and helped her navigate the mental health challenges that so many survivors continue to face.

The event, held in a bar in Kentish Town, was a collaboration between the three organisations in recognition of International Women’s Day for our young professional communities.
