Jewish Literary Voices: A Jewish Federation of the Berkshires Series in collaboration with Jewish Book Council

In anticipation of Yom Ha’atzmaut, journey into the tombs, tunnels, and trenches of the Holy City and learn how it brings to life the indelible characters who have investigated this subterranean landscape. With clarity and verve, acclaimed journalist Andrew Lawler reveals how their pursuit has not only defined the conflict over modern Jerusalem but could provide a map for two peoples and three faiths to peacefully coexist.

Andrew Lawler is author of three books, Under Jerusalem: The Buried History of the World’s Most Contested City, The Secret Token: Myth, Obsession, and the Search for the Lost Colony of Roanoke, a national bestseller, and Why Did the Chicken Cross the World?: The Epic Saga of the Bird that Powers Civilization

Purchase the book here and a portion of the proceeds will be donated back to a local independent bookstore.

Sponsor: Jewish Federation of the Berkshires and Jewish Book Council
