Summer Book Study: The Lemon Tree

Tuesday, July 29, 7:00pm, in person only

Join Rabbi Barrett for a discussion of The Lemon Tree, a powerful story that traces the intertwined lives of a Palestinian man and a Jewish woman connected by a single house in Ramla, Israel. Through their personal journeys, the book opens up deep questions about home, identity, and what it means to belong. As we explore early Israeli history, the pain of war, and the enduring human cost of conflict, we’ll reflect on our own understandings of memory, hope, and the possibility of dialogue across deep divides. This conversation invites us to engage with complexity, compassion, and the shared longing for peace.
