Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb - "Preoccupied: A Travel Journey of Betrayal and Hope in the Holy Land"

Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb shares stories she heard from people on many sides of a growing divide. She travels the terrain of brutality and betrayal, hope and courage that shape the landscape Palestinians and Jews inhabit in America and Israel, Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon. Lynns unique style of storytelling theatre addresses a sensitive subject with pathos and humor, rugged honesty and an unflinching gaze into the ways we justify violence. A brief dialogue with follows the performance for those who want to stay and engage in a conversation with Lynn.

Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb is a Klezmer dancer, author, percussionist, ritual artist and storyteller. She has studied puppetry and acting since childhood and has been performing original work to critical acclaim since 1974 throughout the United States, Canada, Israel and Europe.

This event is free and open to the public. A reception will follow.
