SUMMARY:Mercaz Reads Israel | The Best Place on Earth
DESCRIPTION:\n\nRegister to join us for our sixth MERCAZ Reads Israel Book 
 Club meeting below ...\n\nAyelet Tsabari’s award-winning debut collectio
 n of stories is global in scope yet intimate in feel\, beautifully written
 \, and emotionally powerful. From Israel to India to Canada\, Tsabari’s 
 indelible characters grapple with love\, violence\, faith\, the slipperine
 ss of identity\, and the challenges of balancing old traditions with moder
 n times.\n\nThese eleven spellbinding stories often focus on Israel’s Mi
 zrahi Jews\, featuring mothers and children\, soldiers and bohemians\, lov
 ers and best friends\, all searching for their place in the world. Absorb
 ing\, tender\, and sharply observed\, The Best Place on Earth infuses mome
 nts of sorrow with small moments of grace: a boy composes poetry in a bomb
  shelter\, an old photo helps a girl make sense of her mother’s rootless
  past. Tsabari’s voice is gentle yet wise\, illuminating the burdens of 
 history\, the strength of the heart\, and our universal desire to belong .
