DESCRIPTION:Middle East cuisine followed by speaker/activist Nomika Zion, on "Raising 
 Another Voice.  \n\nNomika Zion is a granddaughter of Yaakov Hazan, 
 co-founder of the first kibbutz in Israel. In 1987 Nomika founded the urban 
 kibbutz Migvan in Sderot, Israel, situated in a quiet agricultural area a 
 mile and a half from the border. Since the beginning of the Second Intifada 
 in 2000, Sderot became the target of relentless bombardment by Qassam 
 rockets launched by Palestinian militant groups in Gaza. The 
 intensification of rocket-fire in 2005 has made Sderot a house-hold name in 
 the west. \n\nIn August, 2009, Nomika published the Sderot War Diary "Not 
 in my name and not for me you went to war." The Diary takes Israel to task 
 for the invasions of Gaza, and was published in 22 different languages. 
 Because of this powerful letter, Nomika received several international 
 peace prizes including the 2009 Niarchos Prize for Survivorship. \n\nPlease 
 make reservations for dinner at 831-423-1626 or at www.rcnv.org.\n\n
