In 2023\, she was named one of Israel’s 50 most influential women by Globes Magazine and serves on the board of the New Israel Fund.

SUMMARY:Compassionate Conversation with The Parent’s Circle-Families Forum
DESCRIPTION:The fourth installment of the Bedari Kindness Institute’s Compassionate Conversations series will feature extraordinary members of the Parents Circle – Families Forum (PCFF). PCFF is a joint Israeli-Palestinian organization made up of more than 800 bereaved families. Their common bond is that they have lost a close family member to the conflict. But instead of choosing revenge\, they have chosen a path of reconciliation. Through their educational activities\, these bereaved members have joined together to take tens of thousands of Palestinians and Israelis on journeys of reconciliation. As a joint Israeli-Palestinian peace organization\, the PCFF models constructive dialogue around shared values. American Friends of the Parents Circle – Families Forum shares the human side of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with the American public in order to foster a peace and reconciliation process. \nThe Compassionate Conversations series features speakers who share a deep and humane commitment to engaging others with compassion\, empathy\, and respect. Members of PCFF embody this commitment. They will share about their experience of loss\, dialogue\, and peace building during the hardest of moments. \nThis program is co-sponsored by the Dialogue Across Difference Initiative. \nRSVP HERE \nAbout the Speakers \n \nLayla Alsheikh lives in Bethlehem in the West Bank. In 2002\, her 6 month old son\, Qussay\, became ill and Israeli soldiers prevented Layla from taking him to the hospital for more than five hours. Qussay soon died from the lack of timely treatment. 
Layla joined the Parents Circle in 2016. Following her son’s death\, she never thought of revenge\, but rather has devoted her time and energy to ensuring a better\, more peaceful future for her children. \n \nMor Ynon is based in Tel Aviv. On October 7\, 2023\, her parents\, Belha and Yaakov\, were killed in their home in Moshav Netiv Ha’Asara by Hamas. The pain of losing them was a wake-up call and a reminder to pursue peace with a commitment to equality\, justice\, and security for everyone. Mor worked in global high-tech for 25 years\, developing strategies and performance measures. Today she serves as the Israeli co-Chair of the Parents Circle Board.

SUMMARY:Viral Harm\, Contested Definitions: Antisemitism and the Politics of Listening
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Alan D. Leve Center for Jewish Studies\, ISH postdoctoral fellow Dr. Kathryn Huether will present her talk Viral Harm\, Contested Definitions: Antisemitism and the Politics of Listening\, on November 12th at Royce Hall. \nDr. Huether’s talk will examine how antisemitism is transmitted and amplified through sound on contemporary social media platforms\, situating this analysis within today’s contested debates over how antisemitism itself is defined. Moving beyond text-based definitions to examine music\, ambient audio\, and meme-driven clips\, she will show how these sonic practices blur parody and hate\, evade moderation systems\, and circulate antisemitic affect through the viral logics of digital culture. \nThis talk is being hosted by the Alan Dr. Leve Center for Jewish Studies.

SUMMARY:Symposium on Sound and Hate
DESCRIPTION:This half-day symposium at UCLA will examine the intersection of sound and hate\, highlighting how auditory experiences can propagate\, resist\, and reflect social animosities. Bringing together diverse perspectives from sound studies and related fields\, the event will deepen understanding of how sound influences\, challenges\, and shapes the dynamics of hate in society. The keynote address\, “Sectarian Reckonings: The Politics of Voice and Song in Post-Authoritarian Syria\,” will be delivered by Shayna M. Silverstein\, Associate Professor in the Department of Performance Studies and faculty member of the Middle Eastern and North African Studies program at Northwestern University. Her talk explores public reckonings with sectarian violence in Syria from the 2010s conflict to the precarious present\, offering guided listening to sonic practices—from chant and song to rock and livestream audio culture—that respond to sectarianized hate\, violence\, and animosity. Additional speakers include UCLA School of Music Associate Professor Jenny Johnson\, UCLA Initiative to Study Hate (ISH) Research Manager Dr. Amalia Mora\, and the symposium’s curator Dr. Kathryn Huether (ISH and Leve Center for Jewish Studies Postdoctoral Fellow-Antisemitism Studies).
