SUMMARY:OZ Book Club 2025 - Jerusalem Drawn and Quartered
DESCRIPTION:The OZ Monthly Book Club meets monthly and welcomes adult readers. Book selections are determined by the group\, with topics that are related to Jewish themes and concepts. Join these casual discussions about the book. \n \nJerusalem Drawn and Quartered: One Woman’s Year in the Heart of the Christian\, Muslim\, Armenian\, and Jewish Quarters of Old Jerusalem by Sarah Tuttle-Singer \nSarah has thrown herself into the maelstrom of living in each quarter—where time is measured in Sabbath sunsets and morning bells and calls to prayer\, in stabbing attacks and check points—keeping the holidays in each quarter\, buying bread from the same bread seller\, making friends with people who were once her enemies\, and learning some of the secrets and sharing the stories that make Jerusalem so special\, and so exquisitely ordinary.

SUMMARY:Screening of the 2024 documentary film "The Other" and Guided Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Film Screening\, Discussion and Potluck Dinner\nSponsored by OZ Adult Ed with Friends of Standing Together \nAbout the Film:\nThis is an award-winning documentary exploring the complex relationship of shared humanity\, culture and connection between Israelis & Palestinians—and the transformative journey that follows when they are faced with meeting ‘the other’ amidst the difficulty of the conflict & occupation—providing an extraordinary example of what we are all capable of as humans. \nFilmed from 2017-2024\, including post October 7th and during the subsequent war\, The Other focuses on Israeli & Palestinian peace-builders\, anti-occupation activists\, artists\, academics\, ex-fighters\, bereaved parents and many more living the reality on the ground. Whether in non-violent co-resistance\, peace-building\, or shared community\, we witness those who have only known each other through hate\, bloodshed\, inequality\, and war\, transcend beyond narrative & belief systems. They teach us that unlearning deep-seated conditioning is possible and that we can liberate ourselves from generational trauma\, hatred and fear—no matter how ingrained and legitimate those fears are. \nAbout the Discussion:\nWe will have a short introduction including guidelines for a moderated and safe discussion. Not everyone will agree with each other and that is fine. Come ready to discover something new. \nAbout the Potluck:\nVegetarian food only\, please bring serving utensils
