Miko Peled's talk in Seattle last month was titled, Beyond The Zionist Paradigm - New Hope for Israel/Palestine, in which he addressed the history of the Israeli State in order to dispel popular historical myths and to promote the prospects for a lasting peace.

Book Look
 Issaquah author Jane Isenberg has published a new historical thriller, The Bones and the Book, which is set in Seattle in the 1960s.
"In 1890, Aliza Rudinsk, a young Orthodox Jewish immigrant from the Ukraine, came to Seattle via New York's Lower East Side expecting to build a good life for herself. When Aliza's bones turn up in Seattle's underground streets in 1965 along with a book written in Yiddish, recently widowed empty nester Rachel Mazursky offers to translate the book. Aliza's surprising and poignant story compels Rachel to search for clues to the identity of the young woman's murderer, but her quest for the truth unearths disturbing secrets about her own past as well as Aliza's." -- Amazon.com
