How Did October 7 Change Israel? | Unpacked

On October 7, 2023, Israel faced an unprecedented attack as thousands of Palestinians broke through the border from Gaza, bringing with them unimaginable atrocities and destruction. One year later, the nation remains in a state of tension, caught between grief, recovery, and survival. Communities have been hollowed out, yet the spirit of resilience endures.

Through art, activism, and collective memory, Israelis have found countless ways to honor their fallen and process their pain. And as the rockets continue, so does the resolve of a nation, still grappling with the deep wounds of that Black Shabbat.

About Explainers: From ancient Jewish traditions to the modern State of Israel, we explain it all. Diving into anything and everything related to Jewish culture, history, and even religion.
Understand Jewish holidays, Israeli politics, Jewish diasporic communities, and more. Learn about Judaism in pop culture, debunking myths about Jews, and explore obscure Israeli landmarks. We’re asking questions as basic as “What is the Talmud?”, and as obscure as “How did hip-hop boost Kosher wine sales?”, and everything in between.

About Unpacked: We provide nuanced insights by unpacking all things Jewish. People are complex and complicated — yet we’re constantly being pushed to oversimplify our world. At Unpacked we know that being complex makes us more interesting. Because of this, we break the world down with nuance and insight to drive your curiosity and challenge your thinking.
