"Occupied Voices: Stories of Everyday Life from the Second Intifada."  Hear
Jewish American author Wendy Pearlman speak about her journey from the
American Midwest to the West Bank and Gaza Strip in a quest to talk to
ordinary Palestinians. As Pearlman writes," the personal stories and
heartfelt reflections that I encountered did not expose a hatred of Jews or
a yearning to push Israelis into the sea.  Rather, they painted a portrait
of a people who longed for precisely that which had inspired the first
Israelis: the chance to be citizens in a country of their own."  All events
open to the public.  For general information, call 312 409 4845, or e-mail
