Tales from Iraq

Edmond J. Safra Hall, Museum of Jewish Heritage-April 6, 2011

Authors Jessica Jiji (Sweet Dates in Basra) and Ariel Sabar (My Father's Paradise), winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award; moderated by Sandee Brawarsky, Jewish Week book critic

Iraqi Jews constitute one of the world's oldest and most historically significant Jewish communities, and yet fewer than 100 Jews live in Iraq today. Authors Jiji and Sabar shared poignant and resonant stories of their Iraqi Jewish heritage and tales of immigration from their most recent works.
