“Lioness: Golda Meir and the Nation of Israel”

The Jewish National Fund-USA Reading Series

By the Jewish National Fund-USA staff

Jewish National Fund-USA’s Reading Series brings together readers and Jewish authors for a lively and engrossing virtual discussion, moderated by JNF-USA IsraelCast host Steven Shalowitz. Every month, a new book about Judaism and/or Israel becomes the subject of a conversation that creates and solidifies friendships, while giving people a chance to flex their intellectual muscles from the comfort of their own homes.

On Wednesday, May 19 at 7 p.m. (EDT), Shalowitz will moderate the discussion with author Francine Klagsbrun about her book, “Lioness: Golda Meir and the Nation of Israel.” The definitive biography for one of Israel’s greatest leaders, “Lioness” covers Golda Meir’s life from her birth in tsarist Russia to her rise as an iron-willed, chain-smoking prime minister as well as life after her political career.

The event is free to attend and is taking place virtually via Zoom. The attendee link will be provided upon registration at jnf.org/readingseries. Purchasing the book prior to the event is not required but recommended.
