Oheb Reads: Strangers in the House - Coming Of Age in Occupied Palestine
Sunday, February 23, 2025 • 25 Shevat 5785
10:00 AMRabbi Treu leads a discussion of Raja Shehadeh's celebrated book.
"Unusually honest, beautifully written.... Few Palestinians have opened their hearts and minds with such frankness." —The New York Times Book Review
Three years after his family was driven from the city of Jaffa in 1948, Raja Shehadeh was born in Ramallah. His early childhood was marked by his family's sense of loss and impermanence, vividly evoked by the glittering lights "on the other side of the hill." He witnessed the numerous arrests of his father, Aziz, who, in 1967, was the first Palestinian to advocate a peaceful, two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He predicted that if peace were not achieved, what remained of the Palestinian homeland would be taken away bit by bit. Ostracized by his fellow Arabs and disillusioned by the failure of either side to recognize his prophetic vision, Aziz retreated from politics. He was murdered in 1985.
