Saturday, November 9, 7 PM

Author of Ghosts of a Holy War, journalist Yardena Schwartz presents an even-handed, thoroughly researched examination of the Arab-Israeli conflict and illustrates how a little-known massacre in Hebron a century ago became ground zero of a war that continues to devastate today. The discussion will be moderated by Rick Hirsch, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who worked 42 years as a reporter and editor at the Miami Herald, the last 12 as Managing Editor.

Schwartz draws on her extensive research and wide-ranging interviews with both sides to tell a timely, eye-opening story. She expertly weaves the war between Israel and Hamas into a historical framework, demonstrating how the conflict today cannot be understood without the context of this century-old war, which began long before the State of Israel ever existed.

Schwartz is an award-winning journalist and Emmy-nominated producer whose reporting has appeared in the New York Times, New York Review of Books, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, TIME, National Geographic and Rolling Stone. She spent a decade reporting from Israel and covered the Greater Miami Jewish Federation's Israel 70 Mission.
