Israel Today and the United Jewish Federation of Tidewater and Simon Family JCC's Lee and Bernard Jaffe Family Jewish Book Festival presents: Meir Shalev, author of the book: My Wild Garden: Notes from a Writer’s Eden.
One of Israel’s most celebrated novelists whose work has been translated into more than 20 languages, Meir Shalev will join us virtually from Israel.
Informed by Shalev’s literary sensibility, his sometime riotous humor, and his deep curiosity about the land, My Wild Garden abounds with appreciation for the joy of living, quite literally, on Earth. Our borrowed time on any particular patch of it is enhanced by our honest, respectful dealings with all manner of beings who inhabit it with us.
Presented as part of the Jewish Community Relations Council of the United Jewish Federation of Tidewater, Simon Family JCC, and Community Partners’ 11th Annual Israel Today Series, the United Jewish Federation of Tidewater and Simon Family JCC’s Lee and Bernard Jaffe Family Jewish Book Festival, and in partnership with The Chrysler Museum.
