Law professors willing to guest-teach for colleagues in Israel?

My colleague Lisa Bernstein asked me to share this message drafted by her, Orly Lobel (San Diego) and Oren Gross (Minnesota):

Israel is a very small country and the atrocities committed by the Hamas and the realities of the current situation have touched most of the population in one way or another. 

To support our Israeli colleagues we are organizing a list of law professors willing to teach a zoom class for free (either a minicourse or a full course) when the Israeli school year begins (currently early November but likely to change). We want to make it possible for our colleagues to take the time they might need  to tend to their other responsibilities and the healing their families and friends might need.
