This year, our Yom Kippur Afternoon Study comes with an ask: join us and help us build the list of Eileh Ezk'rah, those we pledge to remember from our American story. Their lives can inspire us as we enter 5786 and reflect on how to better live as American Jews. We welcome your submissions of stories of soldiers, activists, immigrants, journalists, or everyday people whose bravery helps us ask: What kind of courage does this moment demand of us?

Thank you for your interest in contributing to a meaningful Yom Kippur afternoon of learning.

By submitting this form, I understand that:

• I offer this idea in the spirit of meaningful learning, reflection, and kehilah (community).
• In order to teach the NVHC community about the hero I have chosen, I will work with a member of the clergy to help shape and deepen their story in alignment with the spiritual journey of the High Holy Days.
• I recognize that not all submissions may be selected, due to factors such as the number of proposals received or overlapping topics.
