Hear the full story in the latest episode of “The Quad” with Jerusalem’s special envoy for innovation, Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, as well as Israeli activist and writer Shoshanna Keats Jaskoll, and special guest host Lahav Harkov, senior political correspondent at Jewish Insider.

After the conversation, stick around for an interview with Yahly Bar-Lev, the executive director of StandWithUs Netherlands, who reveals the inspiring mobilization of the Dutch Jewish community during the attacks.
