Center for Jewish Culture & Education
525 Versailles Dr, Centerville, OH 45459
853-0372
Target Group: Adults
Join us in meeting award-winning author Martin Fletcher! One of the most highly respected correspondents in television news, Fletcher will be promoting his new book, Walking Israel: A Personal Search for the Soul of a Nation.

Bookcover: Walking Isreal
Martin Fletcher, long-time NBC Bureau Chief in Tel Aviv, has seen war, famine, killings and tragedy in his nearly 4 decades as a highly respected war correspondent and bureau chief. In 2008, he took on a different assignment – a personal one – that changed the outlook of this veteran newsman in a way he never saw coming. Instead of walking into a war zone, Martin Fletcher walked into the soul of a nation. In his beautiful and touching new book, Walking Israel: A Personal Search for the Soul of a Nation, Fletcher discovers the complexities of Middle Eastern life, and finds a little of himself, too. Reserve one of Martin Fletcher's books and read more about the book and author.

Ticket purchase is required. Cost is $5 in advance by Friday, October 22, or $8 at the door. Purchase tickets at the Library circulation desk, the Jewish Center, or online beginning September 1.


Co-sponsored with the Dayton Jewish Community Center. Book sales provided by Books & Co.
