It is not too late to join this discussion group!  

Many people are reading Ari Shavit's book, My Promised Land:  The Triumph and Tragedy of Israel.

Do you wonder about the buzz?

Have you read the book and want to talk about it with others?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, please join us at B'nai Havurah to talk.  We will discuss the book in "bites" (i.e. chapters) to make it accessible to all.  

For 8 weeks, we will discuss the book in one-chapter increments.  This way, you join can join us for all 8 discussions or drop in to focus on specific chapters which are of most interest to you.  Additional information, contact Liz Evans or Rabbi Evette.
