Jewish Voice for Peace Champlain Valley and Peace & Justice Center are teaming up for a reading group in Burlington to delve in to & discuss Molly Crabapple’s new book “Here Where We Live is Our Country.”
> SIGN-UPS for BOOK ORDERING OPEN UNTIL SUNDAY 17 MAY!

Sign-ups are welcome after Sunday 17 May, but we cannot order books after that date.
Once the most influential Jewish political force in eastern Europe, the Bund was secular, socialist, and uncompromisingly anti-Zionist. The Bundists fought for dignity and equality, not in an imagined homeland in Palestine but “here where we live.”
We’ll gather 4 times, each time to discuss a section of the book (the sections are called Underground, Revolution, the Alternate World, & Fire): what stood out to us, what was similar and different about those times & circumstances vs now, how we can use lessons of the Bund today, etc.
The PJC can order a book for you at ~$22 (wholesale price). These will be available for pick-up at the PJC. If you prefer e-book, the PJC has a bookshop.org shop. Get a copy wherever you prefer, these are just some options! If you’d like to participate but need assistance covering book costs, reach out at rory@pjcvt.org
