Jessica Kasmer-Jacobs is an Israeli-American army wife and mother living in Tel Aviv. She will tell the incredible story of her husband’s family on October 7th: how her father-in-law, retired general Noam Tibon, and her mother-in-law, Holocaust historian Gali Mir-Tibon, raced to the border with Gaza armed only with a pistol and saved their son’s family from the Hamas terrorists attempting to break into their home on Kibbutz Nahal Oz. The fighting spirit of the Tibon family represents the unbreakable spirit of the Israeli people, and the talk will focus on the incredible stories of how the nation banded together in the face of the barbaric terror attack perpetrated by Hamas. From the small volunteer outposts that popped up in every city, to the massive philanthropic movement in the diaspora that met the challenge – the incredible vitality of Jewish life and the enduring strength of Am Yisrael is rising to face off the threat of worldwide antisemitism. Jessica works as a literary agent in Jerusalem, representing Israeli authors in the international book market and selling Hebrew literature in English and other foreign languages. Before moving to Israel, she was an editor at the Wall Street Journal Book Review. Her writing has been published in the Wall Street Journal, the Boston Globe, and the Washington Post.
