Bret Lott will read and discuss his most recent book, Gather the Olives: On Food and Hope and the Holy Land
This event is co-sponsored by the Center for Jewish Studies at UNC Asheville, Congregation Beth Ha Tephila, and the Jewish Community Center of Asheville and is free of charge
Here is a description of the book:
Over the years, Bret Lott—the bestselling author of more than a dozen books, including the novel Jewel (an Oprah’s Book Club selection)—has lived and taught in Jerusalem, affording him the opportunity to travel throughout Israel and the surrounding area. Now, in Gather the Olives, this gifted storyteller has brought together a collection of intimate portraits of the people, the food, and the hope for peace to be found in a region ravaged by war and conflict.
