Greg Myre and Jennifer Griffin, husband-and-wife journalists and authors of the book "This Burning Land," will speak at the annual JUF brunch at Congregation Etz Chaim on Sunday, February 5th at 9:30 am.
Myre, a New York Times reporter, and Griffin, a Fox News correspondent, witnessed the pivotal events in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict over the past decade, and show how the conflict has changed dramatically during that time.
Comments Cheryl Morris, Etz Chaim member and event chair, "This will be a gripping first-hand account of what it was like to live in Jerusalem during the Palestinian uprising. From their in-depth reporting, the speakers have insights into the motivations and thinking on both sides of the conflict that will be most enlightening."
The event, which benefits the 2012 Jewish United Fund-Israel Emergency Fund, is sponsored by Etz Chaim's Social Action Committee. There is no charge to attend. To reserve your place, call Karen Zaransky at 312-444-2810 or email KarenZaransky@juf.org
