The Aguda: Tragedy and Recovery
Supporting Israel’s LGBT Community

On August 1, 2009, a masked gunman burst into the facilities of the Aguda (National Association of LGBT in Israel) during a youth program and opened fire, killing two and injuring dozens more. Since the tragedy, the Aguda has sought to heal, regroup, and reorganize their tremendous volunteer base.

Mike Hamel, the Chairperson of the Aguda since 2004, is considered a leading expert on LGBT issues in Israel and has been involved in social reform and the protection of human rights. Chen Katz is a volunteer counsellor with the Aguda whose brother, Nir Katz, lost his life in the shooting. Come hear their story.
