BOOK CLUB: Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor, by Yossi Klein Halevi  on Zoom
In a series of letters, Halevi explains what motivated him to leave New York and move to Israel to participate in the drama of the renewal of a Jewish homeland. This New York Times bestseller is the first attempt by an Israeli author to directly address his Palestinian neighbors and describe how the conflict appears through Israeli eyes. Halevi untangles the ideological and emotional knot that has defined the conflict for nearly a century. In lyrical, evocative language, he unravels the complex strands of faith, pride, anger and anguish he feels as a Jew living in Israel, using history and personal experience as his guide. Halevi’s letters speak not only to his Palestinian neighbor, but to all concerned global citizens, helping us understand the painful choices confronting Israelis and Palestinians that will ultimately help determine the fate of the region.
