Gloria Abella Ballen will talk about the making of her recent book Garden of Eden: Plants of the Hebrew Bible from her perspective as an artist. She will talk about the balance of research, inspiration and creativity that go into making art. She documented the dozens and dozens of plants in the Hebrew Bible and explores the culinary, medicinal, and spiritual meanings and significance of each one.

The Light of Days: The Untold Story of Women Resistance Fighters in Hitler's Ghettos by Judy Batalion
As propulsive and thrilling as Hidden Figures, In the Garden of Beasts, and Band of Brothers, The Light of Days at last tells the true story of these incredible women whose courageous yet little-known feats have been eclipsed by time. Judy Batalion—the granddaughter of Polish Holocaust survivors—takes us back to 1939 and introduces us to Renia Kukielka, a weapons smuggler and messenger who risked death traveling across occupied Poland on foot and by train. Joining Renia are other women who served as couriers, armed fighters, intelligence agents, and saboteurs, all who put their lives in mortal danger to carry out their missions.
Book Discussion Monday November 29 at 4 PM on Zoom
