Join us for an evening with Special Guest Lecturer Opher Rom on Saturday, June 22, 2024 at 6pm at St, Luke’s Episcopal Church in Des Moines [3424 Forest Avenue]
Opher Rom is the captivating host of the podcast “OPHERcoming the Odds.” Born and raised in Israel, Opher brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the world of history and culture.
Following his service in the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) where he served as an infirmary sergeant, Opher earned a bachelor’s degree in history from Hebrew University. He later completed a comprehensive two-year educational track at the University of Haifa, immersing himself in the tapestry of Israeli history, culture, geography, and the study of religions.
Opher’s passion for enlightening others led him to earn a certificate in tour guiding and he has two decades of experience leading tours in Israel. He served as tour guide for Temple Beth-El’s most recent Israel trip and is visiting from Israel to give talks about history and the current situation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. His friendly demeanor and remarkable ability to convey vast, intricate knowledge in English and Hebrew make him a highly sought-after lecturer.
This event is free and is open to the entire community.
Please note, this is not a political lecture but one of history and understanding.
