‘Happy New Years’ With a Master of Israeli Fiction
As non-Hebrew readers are at last able to access and enjoy the work of acclaimed Israeli-born author Maya Arad, one of the “finest living authors writing in Hebrew today” (Haaretz), this candid and illuminating episode of Hadassah Magazine Presents highlights what makes Maya and her work so vital.
In dialogue with Hadassah Magazine Executive Editor, Lisa Hostein, Maya discusses her new book, Happy New Years, which, among many engaging themes, sheds light on what it means to be an Israeli living in America — a pertinent question as we all continue to grapple with the ongoing war in Gaza and the fate of the hostages, Israelis, Jews everywhere, and Gaza itself.
