Monthly Israel Book Club with Miri

Book for May Book Club

Our next book is "A Tale of Love and Darkness", an epic Israeli memoir and novel written by Amos Oz, Israel's most influential author in the last three decades. The book, rich in national history and ruthless in its personal exploration, tells the story of the author's childhood in Jerusalem under the British Mandate, his experiences during Israel's War of Independence, and his attempts to solve a dark mystery involving his late mother. The Guardian described it as a "one of the funniest, most tragic and most touching books." Miri will also share a personal family connection that hides beyond the novel's pages. (May 3^rd, 10:00 – 12:00) 

Inspire a lasting, personal connection to Israel through Israeli Literature with our Shlicha, Miri. Each month we will engage in meaningful dialogue about Israeli history, reflect on the personal hopes and dreams from Jewish authors, share thoughts on the triumphs and tragedies of Israeli heroes, and celebrate our passion for reading and learning about the meaning of Israel through the written word.  All books will be read in English.
