DESCRIPTION:Rachel Shabi, winner of a 2009 National Jewish Book Council award for Not 
 the Enemy: Israel's Jews from Arab Lands, will be reading, signing books 
 and taking questions in an informal event. Born in Israel, raised in the UK 
 and now living in Tel Aviv, Rachel writes for media outlets in the US, 
 Europe and the Middle East, including The Guardian, Salon.com, Jane's 
 Intelligence Digest, al-Jazeera English, al-Ahram, The Jewish Quarterly, 
 the Sunday Times of London and The New Statesman. Jordan Elgrably, also a 
 writer of Sephardi descent, will speak about the Levantince Culture Center 
 in Los Angeles, which he founded in 2001 and now directs.\n\nBoth Rachel 
 and Jordan work to educate European and North/South American Jews about the 
 rich traditions, culture and history of the Arab Jews, aka Sephardim and 
 Mizrahim. Both feel that understanding of the roots of Judaism and its deep 
 connections with other groups in the Levant will promote lasting peace and 
 justice between Israelis and Palestinians, as well as Arabs and Muslims 
 worldwide. They are both concerned to see the state of Israel recognize the 
 links it has to the countries and cultures of the Middle East and the 
 Levant.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2010/03/03/18639487.php
