Daniel Levin, Proof of Life: Twenty Days on the Hunt for a Missing Person in the Middle East

Ticket $6 or Book & Ticket $36, VIRTUAL event in partnership with National JCC Literary Consortium

In Conversation with Holly Firfer, Atlanta Media Personality

Daniel Levin the son of a diplomat who spent his early years in the Middle east and in Africa then trained as a lawyer. This is a true story about his receiving an urgent call from an acquaintance about a young man who had gone missing in Syria. Over the course of twenty intense days, Levin barters and negotiates his way through Istanbul, Beirut, Amman, and Dubai on a quest to find the young man who disappeared under suspicious circumstances. This dangerous journey brings him into contact with the shadowy world of the underground war economy where everything is for sale, and he sees first-hand the power of the industries that endlessly fuel these conflicts—the trade of cash, goods, weapons, drugs and most devastatingly, people. PROOF OF LIFE is a mind-blowing exploration of how people use leverage to get what they want, entangling Levin in a dizzying web of favors and counter favors with the highest armed-conflict negotiator, navigating the seedy and dangerous underbelly of the Middle East, where he encounters powerful sheiks, drug lords, and sex traffickers in pursuit of the truth.

Ahavat Olam's Beyond The Book Club

Ahavat Olam's next Beyond The Book Club meeting will be Thursday, August 12th. Come meet a warm group of people who love to read. We will discuss John Grisham's "Sooley". In the summer of his seventeenth year, Sam­uel Sooleymon gets the chance of a lifetime: a trip to the United States with his South Sudanese teammates to play in a showcase basket­ball tournament. He has never been away from home, nor has he ever been on an airplane. The opportunity to be scouted by dozens of college coaches is a dream come true. Samuel is an amazing athlete, with speed, quick­ness, and an astonishing vertical leap. The rest of his game, though, needs work, and the American coaches are less than impressed. During the tournament, Samuel receives dev­astating news from home.

Gripping and moving, Sooley showcases John Grisham's unparalleled storytelling powers in a whole new light. This is Grisham at the top of his game. Ahavat Olam Book Club is for temple members only, but there is no charge to sit in 1 time. For information, please call Kim 305 412-4240.
