Led by BJ members Rabbi Carole Balin and Jennifer Sylvor, the Israeli Authors Discussion Group takes us on a journey of rich and thought-provoking Israeli literature.
Award-winning Israeli author and clinical psychologist Ayelet Gundar-Goshen will discuss the impact of trauma on her literary work, as well as her therapeutic work in the context of October 7. Tackling family secrets and antisemitism, Gundar-Goshen’s new novel, The Wolf Hunt, centers on an Israeli family based in Silicon Valley, whose lives are shattered after a terror attack on a local synagogue. Gundar-Goshen will discuss this work, which explores the fault lines in a community, a school, and a family, as an Israeli mother begins to suspect her teenage son of committing a terrible hate crime as revenge.
