3 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Winner, Jewish Book Council's Everett FAmily foundation award, Jewish Book of the YearWinner, American Library Association's Sophie Brody Medal for Best Jewish Book of the YearEditors' Choice, New York Times Book ReviewIn restoring Jewish sovereignty to the Holy City during 1967's Six-Day War, the paratroopers of Reserve Brigade 55 fulfilled a dream of two millennia, forever changing the history of Israel and of the Middle East. And, as veteran journalist Yossi Klein Halevi compellingly reveals in Like Dreamers, they served pivotal roles in shaping Israel's destiny long after their resounding military success. As he follows the lives of this Israeli band of brothers, and charts the ideological divides among them, he weaves an epic chronicle of modern Israel that humanizes the country's political and cultural dilemmas, and offers an unprecedented glimpse into its soul.

My final post for #FoodAndLit #Israel
A book I hoped to read but never got to (maybe May?!?) and my delicious falafel, which I devoured 😋
This falafel place makes special fries, he uses the tops of the pita that he cuts for the falafel, then it‘s stuffed with mashed potatoes and deep fried with the falafel balls. They are UH.MAY.ZING🙌🏻
