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.

Federation is looking for changemakers to help transform Jewish life.

We are now accepting applications for three grant opportunities for 2022: Women’s Impact Initiative Grants, Jewish Incubator Grants and for the first time, Jewish Abilities Alliance Inclusion Grants.

To be considered for Women’s Impact Initiative Grants, proposals should identify obstacles women and girls face and develop creative responses that promote social, economic and political equality.

Jewish Incubator Grants support nonprofits that strengthen Miami’s Jewish community through innovative and impactful programs. Jewish organizations with creative and forward-thinking ideas that enrich social service, educational or Jewish identity-building activities are invited to apply.

Federation’s newly-launched Jewish Abilities Alliance Inclusion Grants will fund projects that create opportunities for inclusion of individuals with disabilities in the Miami Jewish community through programs, supplies or physical accommodations.

Grant applications for all three opportunities are due by 4 p.m. on Friday, September 3.

Join Jewish National Fund-USA IsraelCast host Steven Shalowitz and author Ben Freeman for a live Q&A session about his book, Jewish Pride: Rebuilding a People. Inspired by his experiences with LGBTQ+ pride, Ben M Freeman aims to educate, inspire, and empower Jewish people to reject the shame of antisemitism imposed on Jews by the non-Jewish world, as well as non-Jewish perceptions of what it means to be a Jew. Jewish Pride: Rebuilding a People empowers our nation to begin the process of defining their own identities as proud Jews through Jewish experience, Jewish history, and Jewish values. Available for purchase on Amazon. Purchasing the book prior to the event is not required but recommended.

About JNF-USA’s Reading Series: Jewish National Fund-USA’s Reading Series takes place monthly via Zoom and brings together readers and Jewish authors for a lively and engrossing virtual discussion, moderated by JNF-USA IsraelCast host Steven Shalowitz. Every month, a new book about Judaism and/or Israel becomes the subject of a conversation that creates and solidifies friendships while giving people a chance to flex their intellectual muscles from the comfort of their own home.
