In Wartime Moments in Israel: A Diary of Encounters and Reflections, CITIZENARTS founder Jim Gabbe, a historian, journalist, photographer, and educator, presents an immersive, real-time, on-the-ground diary of reflections during his recent travels through Israel.

Raw, real and, at times, humorous, Jim recorded his observations during a variety of encounters: at some of Jerusalem's holiest sites, while visiting with an official at the Knesset, inside a rocket shelter, and during time with a hostage family. He was also honored to meet with one of the first Israeli soldiers to enter Gaza, and with the father of a kibbutz family that survived the October 7 attack.

Neither travel log nor political screed, Wartime Moments in Israel brings you directly to Israel to experience life there now. Moments powerful and eye-opening, they reaffirmed Jim’s ardent belief that, ultimately, Israelis and their Middle Eastern neighbors will beat their swords into plowshares.
