An Evening with Author Mark Patinkin

An evening with Mark Patinkin: The Holy Land at War – A Journey Through Israel, the West Bank and Gaza.

On Yom HaZikaron, a day to honor Israel’s fallen and victims of terror, join Pulitzer Prize finalist for international reporting and longtime Providence Journal columnist Mark Patinkin for a powerful, first-hand account of the human cost of war, drawn from his book The Holy Land at War.

In the wake of October 7, Patinkin returned to Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza—not as an analyst, but as a witness. He stood where terror unfolded, met wounded IDF soldiers, and sat with families of hostages. He also spent time in Ramallah and Bethlehem, encountering both hardship and humanity.

Revisiting people he first met during the First Intifada, Patinkin reveals what has changed—and what has not—over three decades of conflict.

This is not political analysis, but a deeply human journey—capturing voices on all sides living with loss, resilience, and uncertainty.

On this day of remembrance, we are called not only to hear these stories—but to carry them with us.

Listen deeply. Reflect honestly. Remember together.
