 The Palestine-Israel Justice Group and the Racialized Identities Awareness (RIA) Book Group are coming together for another collaborative book discussion on Friday, October 23rd, from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM.
Our featured selection for this gathering is Nathan Thrall’s powerful, Pulitzer Prize–winning work, A Day in the Life of Abed Salama: Anatomy of a Jerusalem Tragedy. Event Details
About the Book When a field trip bus carrying Palestinian kindergarteners collides with a trailer truck outside Jerusalem, five-year-old Milad Salama is among the missing children. His father, Abed, sets out into the rain to find him—only to encounter an intricate maze of physical walls, security checkpoints, military bureaucracy, and permit restrictions that impede every step of his desperate search. Nathan Thrall expands this tragic morning into an unforgettable portrait of daily life in the West Bank and Jerusalem. By weaving together the interconnected lives of Palestinians and Israelis involved in or responding to the accident, the book illuminates the human weight of systemic inequality, segregated infrastructure, and contested identities. Why Join the Discussion? This joint gathering offers a welcoming, reflective space to explore the deep intersections of identity, justice, state structures, and human dignity highlighted throughout the book. Whether you have read the entire book or are mid-way through, your perspective and insights are welcome. How to Attend: You can join us in person in at First UU or connect virtually from home. We will share zom links prior to the meeting. Contact Louise Titlow for more details ([email protected]). Mark your calendar and bring a friend—we look forward to a thoughtful evening of shared learning and meaningful dialogue.
