Our most recent MERCAZ READS ISRAEL book selection was All The Rivers, a novel by Dorit Rabinyan.
A controversial, award-winning story about the passionate but untenable affair between an Israeli woman and a Palestinian man. Banned from classrooms by Israel’s Ministry of Education, this remarkable novel is a bold portrayal of the strains – and delights – of a forbidden relationship, and explores the complex issues of Israeli life.
Our third book club meeting and discussion took place on Tuesday, July 13 … If you missed the discussion, you can still buy the book and then watch our book club meeting for insights and context into this important work:
