Join us for brunch with renowned author and journalist Gershom
Gorenberg. With Israel's elections just days away (on February 10th), Gorenberg
will talk about the many issues facing Israel at this time.
Gershom Gorenberg is the author of The Accidental Empire:
Israel and the Birth of the Settlements, 1967-1977. Based on previously
unpublished documents and extensive interviews, The Accidental Empire
presents a strikingly new picture of Israel’s post-1967 history, of major
Israeli leaders, and of Israel-U.S. relations.
Gorenberg’s previous book, The End of Days: Fundamentalism and
the Struggle for the Temple Mount, portrays the role of religious
radicalism in the Mideast conflict. He co-authored The Jerusalem
Report's 1996 biography of Yitzhak Rabin, Shalom Friend, winner
of the National Jewish Book Award. As a commentator on Middle East affairs and
on religion, Gorenberg has appeared on Sixty Minutes, Nightline, Dateline, Fresh Air and on CNN and BBC. For many years an associate editor of The
Jerusalem Report, he is now a senior correspondent for The American
Prospect. He has written for The Atlantic Monthly, The New York Times
Magazine, Foreign Policy and Ha'aretz. He blogs at southjerusalem.com.
Gorenberg came to Israel from California in 1977. He lives in
Jerusalem with his wife and three children.
