*Please join us for:* *February 9-* *Herb Keinon*, the Jerusalem reporter and author of *"French Fries in a Pita"* looks at the quirks and charms of Israeli life in a tumultuous political and diplomatic environment. *An immigrant's journey is never full completed, even a Jewish immigrant's journey to Israel. "French Fries in a Pita," comprised of columns that have appeared in The Jerusalem Post over the last 25 years, records one such American immigrant's engaging journey. This book sheds light on what it is about Israel that stirs people to move there and become immigrants, a designation - and a feeling - that lasts forever. * *His columns are little pearls of laugh-out-loud humor. Read this book and you'll learn a great deal about what life in Israel is really about. You'll also quickly grow fond of Kienon. - David Horovitz, editor, Times of Israel. * * Keinon... is a keen and witty observer of daily immigrant life in Israel. Keinon's light-hearted humor resonates with veterans and immigrants, and lets future immigrants have a glimpse of the wonderful roller coaster ride that awaits them in Israel - Ron Dermer, * * Israel's Ambassador to the United States. He write about potentially commonplace issues in Israel-pulling out the nuances, the wisdom, and yes, the poignancy and hilarity that most of us simply let pass by... The Jerusalem Post * *Kienon has produced a rare book about Israel, one that will first make you smile, and then nod your head in recognition of a home truth you've probably never quite articulated to yourself. This collection of ruminations - whimsical, wise, insightful and often moving - is a delight. - Abraham Rabinovich, author of The Yom Kippur War and The Battle for Jerusalem. * *** "French Fries in a Pita" will be on sale after Herb's talk.
