"Read
It & Meet" Book Discussions
|
Do you
have a favorite book you'd like to share ... one by a Jewish
author or with Jewish content? Our "Read It & Meet"
Book Discussions are held once a month and are open to everyone!
We discuss selected books and share our experiences, reactions,
and ideas. Occassionally, we have an "author-in-residence"
as a special guest.
Most book discussions take place Shabbat afternoons (exceptions
are noted below) following Kiddush with the congregation
(approximately 12:00 noon). Moderators are needed to facilitate
each book discussion. If you would like to suggest a book,
act as a moderator, or would like more information, please
contact Rayna at rgellman@cox.net.
Purchase books (and more!) through
Amazon.com's Associates Program and
Congregation Anshei Israel receives
from 4% to 8.5% in compensation.
It's easy! Click on the link above.

The Other War: Israelis, Palestinians & the Struggle
for Media Supremacy
by Stephanie Gutmann
Why
are events pertaining to Israel being distorted or ignored
worldwide in newspaper editorials, on television and on
the Internet? Is it "the big lie" all over again?
When media perceptions are more persuasive than reality,
how can we fight back?
