Choosing Hope: A conversation with Luai Ahmed

Join Luai Ahmed, one of the Middle East's most distinctive emerging voices, for a timely conversation with Rabbi Amitai Fraiman, Founding Director of Z3. Born and raised in Yemen and now based in Sweden, Ahmed has become a leading advocate for coexistence, challenging extremism, antisemitism and misinformation while offering a hopeful vision for the future of the region. Together, they will explore identity, freedom, dialogue and what it takes to build bridges across some of today's deepest divides.

The Z3 Project is happy to partner with StandWithUs for this event.
