GLENDALE, CA - December 10, 2025 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - The Martial Arts History Museum will host Sabra Day, a first-of-its-kind celebration honoring Sabra (Ruth Bat-Seraph), Marvel Comics’ groundbreaking Israeli superheroine.
Beginning at 5:30 PM PST, the event will bring together fans, scholars, cultural leaders, and members of the Jewish and Israeli communities for a night celebrating heroism, identity, and Sabra’s unique place in pop culture.
Sabra debuted in The Incredible Hulk and quickly became known for her strong Zionist identity, her unapologetic pride in Israel, and her role as a symbol of Israeli resilience.
“Sabra represents something rare in mainstream media: a hero who is proudly Israeli, proudly Jewish in identity, and portrayed with depth and conviction,” says event organizer Jerome Maida.
• Presentations on Sabra’s comic history and cultural significance
• Displays of artwork, collectibles, and rare materials
• Bags of Chanukah gelt for all attendees
• A Sabra cosplayer for attendees to take photos with
• Community gathering and networking opportunities
The celebration arrives at a time of renewed interest in Sabra, Israeli representation, and broader questions of Jewish identity in global media.
Sabra Day is open to the public. Press, cultural institutions, and community organizations are encouraged to attend.
