Miko Peled
October 1st
University Temple United Methodist Church, 7:00 pm
1415 NE 43rd Street, Seattle
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
Sponsors 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.

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."

Friday, Sept. 14 · 6 pm · Temple De Hirsch Sinai (1511 E. Pike St., Seattle)
In his new autobiographical book, A New Way to Be Human: 7 Spiritual Pathways to Becoming Fully Alive, Robert V. Taylor, who in time became one of the highest-ranking, openly gay Episcopal priests, tells a story that begins with spiritual awakening-and calling-in South Africa. That calling was very tied to the struggles there for justice, equality, and the end of apartheid. These stories and more make for a vivid, telling chronicle. "This book will become well thumbed as you return to it time and time again to be reminded of what is essential to your journey: that God longs for us to be people of love and compassion." - Desmond Tutu. Friday evening's talk begins with a Rock Shabbat service and dinner. Suggested donation of $10 at the door. (Thank you Elliott Bay Book Co. website.)

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.

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.
