Mark your calendars for a special appearance by award-winning author Joan Leegant, who will speak to us about her stunningly timely story collection, “Displaced Persons,” which shines a light on American Jewish life and Israel, especially relevant in these times.
Joan will focus on Israel’s uneasy multi-culture: It’s not just the Ashkenazim and Sephardim anymore—and never was. Who is Israel today? They’re Filipino caretakers, Thai farmworkers, African refugees and asylum seekers, along with Druze, Bedouins, Russians, Arabs, and Jews from across the Middle East. We’ll also look at how they are (or aren’t) part of Israeli life, and how they’ve been affected by October 7.
Books are available for purchase through TBZ and will be available at the event and for signing for $18.
This is event is offered in-person and online.
