SUMMARY:Adeena Sussman: A Jewish Book Festival & Speaker Series Event
DESCRIPTION:Zariz: 100 Easy\, Breezy\, Tel Aviv-y Recipes\nby Adeena Sussman\nModerated by Rachel Holtzman \nJ Member Ticket Pricing: \n$48.64 per couple (includes fees and 1 copy of the cookbook) \nNon-Member Ticket Pricing: \n$48.64 per attendee (includes fees and 1 copy of the cookbook)\n$64.86 per couple (includes fees and 1 copy of the cookbook) \nBook Festival All-Access Pass Holders: \nAdmission is included in your pass (cookbook may be purchased separately at the event) \nBUY TICKETS \nFor Adeena Sussman\, the kitchen is an island of calm: a place where she can center her mind\, set the rules\, and create a daily haven of deliciousness through her cooking. These days\, she finds herself embracing the mantra “when the going gets tough\, the cooking gets easy.” Pandemics\, wars\, and the busy pace of a very full life have led her toward a smoother\, more streamlined cooking approach embodied in the Hebrew word for quick\, zariz\, in her newest cookbook\, Zariz: 100 Easy\, Breezy\, Tel Aviv-y Recipes (Avery; On-sale April 28). \nThis pared-down style doesn’t mean sacrificing the rhythms\, sounds\, and sensory pleasures we experience while preparing vibrant\, yet simple recipes. Instead\, it has led her to rely on fewer pots and pans\, a more edited pantry of highly versatile ingredients to create maximum flavor\, and simple\, thoughtful techniques that bring meals together effortlessly—always with her signature\, flavor-forward style. \nMost of the recipes in this cookbook contain fewer than 12 ingredients—not including olive oil\, salt\, pepper\, and lemons\, which are staples of Adeena’s Middle Eastern & Mediterranean-inspired dishes\, and already in most pantries. Recipes include: \n\nSunny Sheet Pan Shakshuka\nBaharat-Spiced Mushroom Hummus\nGorgeous Green Salad with Labaneh-Lime Dressing\nHachapuri Pizza\nSpice-Drawer Schnitzel\nPreserved Lemon\, Asparagus\, & Cherry Tomato Orzotto\nGrilled Hoisin-Harissa Lamb Chips & Plums with Herb Salad\n\nAbout the Author\n \nAdeena Sussman is the New York Times bestselling author of Shabbat and Sababa. She cooks and writes from her kitchen in Tel Aviv\, where she lives in the city’s Carmel Market neighborhood with her husband\, Jay Shofet. \nSee more at: \nIG: @adeenasussman (257k)\nTikTok: @adeenasussman (20K)\nwww.adeenasussman.com \nBUY TICKETS

SUMMARY:Paths Forward for Gaza\, Israel\, & The Middle East
DESCRIPTION:An Evening with Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib\, A Gazan Advocate for Peace\, Realign For Palestine at the Atlantic Council \nDoors Open 6:30pm | Program Begins 7pm \nSecurity will be in place; please leave large bags at home. \nOrganized by JCRC and Friends of Israel and sponsored by the Jewish Book Festival & Speaker Series\, a program of the J. \n\nAbout Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib\nSenior Fellow at Atlantic Council and Director of Realign For Palestine \nAhmed Fouad Alkhatib leads Realign For Palestine\, an Atlantic Council project that challenges entrenched narratives in the Israel and Palestine discourse and develops a new policy framework for rejuvenated pro-Palestine advocacy. Realign For Palestine aims to cultivate a new generation of Palestinian voices committed to a two-nation solution\, nonviolence\, and radical pragmatism. \nAlkhatib serves as a resident senior fellow with the Atlantic Council’s Middle East programs\, where he writes extensively on Gaza’s political and humanitarian affairs\, is an outspoken critic of Hamas\, and promotes a radically pragmatic approach to peace and Palestinian statehood as the only path forward between Palestinians and Israelis. His writing and opinions have been published and featured across the US\, Israeli\, and international press\, and his views are prominently featured across social media platforms. Alkhatib holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration and a master’s degree in intelligence and national security studies. He grew up in Gaza City and left Gaza in 2005. Much of Ahmed’s experience is influenced by having grown up in Gaza during the Oslo peace process — and during the difficulties resulting from Oslo’s failure — and the rise of Hamas and Islamism in Gaza. \nSince the October 7 massacre\, Alkhatib’s life has been deeply impacted by the loss of thirty-three of his immediate and extended family members\, who were killed by three different Israeli airstrikes. Still\, he aims to play a part in breaking the cycle of dehumanization and defying the cycle of hatred\, incitement\, violence\, and revenge. \n\nRegistration\nRegistration required. \nREGISTER \n  \n \n
