Workshop with Penny Rosenwasser and Leslie Simon

“To Be a Jew against Injustice”

at the Howard Zinn Book Fair Sunday, December 3 12:30-2 p.m.

City College Mission Campus 1125 Mission Street at 22nd Street

Given the worsening times we find ourselves in, we hope our workshop can offer a place for honest and open dialogue. We will start with short readings from Penny’s book Hope into Practice: Jewish Women Choosing Justice Despite Our Fears -- and from my novel The Divine Comic, where two Jewish American sisters grapple with their relationship to each other and to Israel and Palestine. As we move toward the need for a new movement for justice and reconciliation in the Middle East, Penny and I will explore a few key themes from our books and then invite your perspectives, questions, identities, and commitments. 

Here is a link to the day’s program, which begins at 10:30 am.
