SUMMARY:MBJCC Book Club: The Sword of David\, by Charles Lichtman (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:MBJCC Book Club: The Sword of David\, by Charles Lichtman (Virtual)\nAn action-packed thriller\, The Sword of David tells the story of an Israeli commando traveling across the globe\, following clues in search of a major biblical treasure that could change the destiny of the world. \nChaim Klein—a fearless Israeli Special Forces officer—has his hands full. After Klein unexpectedly finds the long-lost Ark of the Covenant\, he must then search the globe for the Ten Commandments tablets. Klein must also confront and stop a consortium of Islamic states and terrorist organizations who are planning a simultaneous attack that would obliterate dozens of Western cities and Israel. Along the way\, he comes across the mystical and awe-inspiring Sword of David. In this nonstop action-packed thriller\, which draws on supernatural elements\, Klein and his crew visit Ethiopia\, London\, Paris\, Lebanon\, and Rome. We also see the terrorists plotting in the West Bank\, Saudi Arabia\, Afghanistan\, and Istanbul. The final climactic confrontation between Klein and the terrorists is unexpected and inspirational. \nIn The Sword of David\, you will meet colorful characters—including Rafsani\, the terrorist who trained under the infamous Carlos the Jackal; the Israeli spy Galit who works undercover in Paris under the alias Sister Chloe; Baroness Collins\, who has an important position in the UK government as well as being the head of a secret organization long thought to be defunct; a renegade CIA operative; a Palestinian once nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize; and the Palestinian’s terrorist grandson. \nBased on the author’s painstaking research of biblical artifacts\, religion\, history\, and terrorism\, The Sword of David feels authentic and current.

SUMMARY:MBJCC Book Club: Red Sea Spies (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Red Sea Spies: The True Story of Mossad’s Fake Diving Resort by Raffi Berg\nModerated book discussion\, followed by author q&a.\nIn the ear­ly 1980s\, on a remote part of the Sudanese coast\, a new lux­u­ry resort opened for busi­ness. Cater­ing to divers\, it attract­ed guests from around the world. Lit­tle did the guests know that the staff mem­bers were under­cov­er spies\, work­ing for the Mossad — the Israeli secret ser­vice. Writ­ten by BBC News web­site Mid­dle East edi­tor Raf­fi Berg\, this page-turn­er tells the true sto­ry that inspired the recent Net­flix dra­ma The Red Sea Div­ing Resort. \nWhat began with one cryp­tic mes­sage plead­ing for help\, turned into the secret evac­u­a­tion of thou­sands of Ethiopi­an Jews and the spir­it­ing of them to Israel.\nRaffi Berg is the Middle East editor of the BBC News website. A journalist for nearly 30 years\, he has a particular interest in events in Israel\, from where he has reported extensively in times of war and peace. He graduated in modern and medieval history from the London School of Economics and was a student of Jewish and Israel studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Raffi’s book Red Sea Spies: The True Story of Mossad’s Fake Diving Resort is his literary debut\, written in collaboration with the Mossad commander behind the epic operation to spirit Ethiopian Jews to Israel. Originally from north-west England\, Raffi is based in London\, where he lives with his family.
