Rabbi Knopf's Blog

Our Israel Book Club continues!  Each month we will read a book about Israel and/or by an Israeli author, and meet on a Sunday morning to discuss the book over breakfast. Our SHALOM Israel RVA committee leaders and clergy will facilitate these discussions. 

Book Selection #2

Dancing Arabs by Sayed Kashua

Suffused with humor and irony, Dancing Arabs centers around a young boy from a poor Arab village, his haphazard receipt of a scholarship to a Jewish boarding school, and the dislocation and alienation that ensues when he finds himself faced with the impossible: the imperative to straddle two famously incompatible worlds. 

We will discuss this book on Sunday, October 27, 10:00am at the Religious School (609 N. Parham Road).

​​​​​​​All are welcome!
