This week I'm delighted and humbled to have with me Sarah-Jane Landsman of Kibbutz
Alumim. In 2022, when there was no-one else to step up, Sarah-Jane took on a second term
as Mazkirah (Director) of the kibbutz. That was how, on October 7th, she found herself in a
very pivotal role, a role that really no training can provide any preparation for, and since then
she's relocated the whole kibbutz and cared for the different needs of that displaced
community.
Sarah-Jane and I met in July when I was privileged to visit Kibbutz Alumim and hear her
incredible story, which has really stayed with me over these difficult months. This is the story
of the last 400 days.
