  16 - Israel: A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth by
  Noa Tishby (NF) (Facilitated by Nina)\n\nA “fascinating and very movin
 g” (Aaron Sorkin\, award-winning screenwriter of The West Wing and Th
 e Social Network) chronological timeline spanning from Biblical times to 
 today that explores one of the most interesting countries in the world
 —Israel.\n\nIsrael. The small strip of arid land is 5\,700 miles away bu
 t remains a hot-button issue and a thorny topic of debate. But while every
 one seems to have a strong opinion about Israel\, how many people actually
  know the facts?\n\nHere to fill in the information gap is Israeli America
 n Noa Tishby. But “this is not your Bubbie’s history book” (Bill Mah
 er\, host of Real Time with Bill Maher). Instead\, offering a fresh\, 360
 -degree view\, Tishby brings her “passion\, humor\, and deep intimacy”
  (Yossi Klein Halevi\, New York Times bestselling author of Letters to 
 My Palestinian Neighbor) to the subject\, creating an accessible and dynam
 ic portrait of a tiny country of outsized relevance. Through bite-sized ch
 unks of history and deeply personal stories\, Tishby chronicles her homela
 nd’s evolution\, beginning in Biblical times and moving forward to cover
  everything from WWI to Israel’s creation to the disputes dividing the c
 ountry today. Tackling popular misconceptions with an abundance of facts\,
  Tishby provides critical context around headline-generating controversies
  and offers a clear\, intimate account of the richly cultured country of I
 srael.\n\nUpcoming Meeting Date: August 13
