Sunday, May 15, 4-7pm, Broad Street United Methodist Church, 501 E. Broad St.

The Central Ohio Chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) invites you to this presentation and conversation with Rabbi Brant Rosen, a member of the JVP National Rabbinical Council and author of the book, Wrestling in the Daylight: A Rabbi’s Path to Palestinian Solidarity.

In his preface, Rabbi Rosen writes, “I’ve come to believe that too many of us have been wrestling in the dark on this issue for far too long. I believe we simply must find a way to widen the limits of public discourse on Israel/Palestine, no matter how painful the prospect. It is my fervent hope that the conversations presented here might represent, in their small way, a step toward the light of day.”

Both the content of the main blog posts in Wrestling in the Daylight and the generosity with which Rosen includes — and seriously engages with — the views of his harshest critics show us an admirable spiritual leader at work. In many different ways, this book can serve as a valuable resource for all those within or beyond the Jewish community who yearn to hold open and honest discussions on Israel and Palestine.

Free and open to the public; a reception will follow the question/answer time.
