October 4th
University of Washington
Sieg Hall, Room 134 - 6:30 pm

Miko Peled is the son of the highly revered and influential Israeli General Matti Peled, architect and leader of the 1967 six-day war. His family was deeply steeped from the early 1900s in the Zionist concept of creating a Jewish state in Palestine. After the war, General Matti Peled made a plea for the "conquered" areas to be returned for the sake of security, equality, human rights and peace to the people from which it was taken stating that without doing so Israel would never have peace or security.

Miko Peled will speak about his personal journey and study of Israeli state archives to unveil and dispel the many mythical and commonly accepted "truths" about the history of the Palestine/Israeli struggle since 1947.

RSVP on Facebook. For more information please contact
[email protected]. View or download a flyer.

Sponsors of Mr. Peled's Seattle appearances Include: Jewish Voices for Peace, Mideast Focus Ministry at St. Mark's Cathedral, SUPER UW, The Palestine Task Force of the Church Council of Greater Seattle, Kadima, Episcopal Bishop's Committee for Israel/Palestine, Palestine Solidarity Committee, American Friends Service Committee.




Be'Chol Lashon


Two stories in the Be'chol Lashon August newsletter





Ruth Abusch Magder, My Jewish Learning, August 23, 2012

"In 1850 two men found themselves standing under a tree near the famous Recoleta Cemetery in the center of Buenos Aires. Each man was carrying a small book and reading to himself. It was Yom Kippur and each man prayed silently to himself without saying a word, even though they each knew what the other was doing. After finishing their prayers they started to talk and they agreed to meet next year and to try to find some more Jews. The year after this story the first minyan took place for Yom Kippur and they decided to found the Congregacion Israelita de la Republica Argentina, the first Jewish Institution in Argentina." Continued here.


Eric Herschthal, The New York Jewish Week, May 22, 2012

"Of the roughly 1,000 Afghani Jews living in the U.S. today, most reside in Queens. Like Sara Aharon. Her father, like many Afghani Jews, emigrated from Afghanistan in the 1950s. He married a woman who was part-Ashkenazi, part-Sephardic (Iraqi Jews with family from Iraq), and they gave birth to Sara here 26 years ago. "I'm a born-and-bred New Yorker," Aharon said. While she knew her father was Afghani growing up, neither he nor his fellow Afghani Jews talked much about it. "They tend to stress the future," she said. "I grew up not knowing anything what it was like to be Jewish in Central Asia." That history was ignored at school, too. At her Orthodox girl's yeshiva, as well as at Brandeis, where she got her undergraduate degree, "all the Jewish courses were rich in Ashkenazi history," she said, "but no one really focused on Jewish life in the Middle East [before Israel's establishment] or Central Asia." Continued here.

Great Depression
A "Hooverville" painting by Ronald Debs Ginther. WSHS Collections, 1967.137.29.

Now thru Nov 4    Washington State History Museum (1911 Pacific Ave, Tacoma)

The 1929 Wall Street collapse plunged Americans into a period of great uncertainty as unemployment skyrocketed, banks failed, and housing foreclosures hit record highs. President Herbert Hoover put it succinctly: "About the time we think we can make ends meet, somebody moves the ends." Hope in Hard Times shares how ordinary people worked for change in their communities, pulling together to find ways to deal with the crisis. A billy club used during the 1934 "Battle of Smith Cove," WPA artifacts, and everyday items are among some of the objects showcased in this exhibition. The paintings and sketches of Ronald Debs Ginther, also featured in the exhibition, comprise one of the most complete visual records of the Great Depression.




King Tut  

 

 

Now thru Jan 6, 2013  �  Pacific Science Center 

He coulda won a Grammy... 
The exhibition features more than 100 objects from King Tut's tomb and from ancient sites representing important rulers throughout 2,000 years of ancient Egyptian history. More than twice the number of artifacts than in the original Tut exhibit that toured in the 1970s. On display for the last time in North America! Steve Martin performs King Tut here!
