JEWISH SHORT STORIES:  WAR AND THE JEWISH SOUL

Join us at WES for a thought-provoking night of Jewish short stories, read aloud by WES congregants, with Q&A. Our stories will deal with the effect of war on the soul.

How do wars affect those who have to fight them?  How does a child understand a parent’s
PTSD? What would you tell your children if you both were doomed in the Holocaust?

We will be reading three stories:

•     “Og,” by Avner Mandelman, read by Arthur Flug
•     “April 19th, 1985,” by Deirdre Levinson, read by Judith Waksberg
•     “Jellyfish in Gaza,” by Omar Friedlander, read by Lee Huttner

Refreshments will be served. This event will also be live-streamed.*

Curated selection of short stories coordinated by Dan Van Doren, read by members of West End Synagogue, in English.
