ESJ Book Club: Chapter 1

  • Silverlake Independent Jewish Community Center 1110 Bates Ave. Los Angeles (map)

After a beautiful Meet & Greet on Tuesday June 14th, we are excited to be starting our journey into this book! Given the complicated and dense nature of this material, we’re planning to take things slow and read about 40 pages per week. For this first official gathering, we will be reviewing just the introduction and Chapter 1. Whether you have yet to begun reading, or if you’re already half-way through the book - PLEASE JOIN US! We invite all to attend regardless of what page you’re at.

Again,

Welcome Back!

We've missed you all and are excited to expand the group! After reading Etgar Keret and Rabbi Rachel Sharona Lewis, we are on to our next pick! We will be reading The Hundred Years’ War by Rashid Khalidi, one of the foremost US historians of the Middle East.

Please join us Tuesday, June 28th at 7pm in the SIJCC Courtyard.

NO PRIOR READING REQUIRED.

"Drawing on a wealth of untapped archival materials and the reports of generations of family members--mayors, judges, scholars, diplomats, and journalists--The Hundred Years' War on Palestine upends accepted interpretations of the conflict, which tend, at best, to describe a tragic clash between two peoples with claims to the same territory."
