Thank you for registering the Florida JCC’s Book series on Thursday, April 21 at 1:00 PM, featuring Iddo Gefen, author of Jerusalem Beach:  Stories.

At once compassionate, philosophical, and humorous, Jerusalem Beach is a foray into the human condition in all its contradictions. Through a series of snapshots of contemporary life in Israel, Gefen reveals a world that’s a step from the familiar.

He is an author and neu­rocog­ni­tive researcher at the Vir­tu­al and Aug­ment­ed Real­i­ty Lab at the Sagol Brain Insti­tute. There, he leads an inno­v­a­tive study to diag­nose aspects of Parkin­son’s dis­ease using sto­ry­telling and aug­ment­ed real­i­ty. His first book, Jerusalem Beach, received the Israeli Min­is­ter of Cul­ture’s Award in 2017.
