Join us on Wednesday, May 21 at 7 PM ET, for a conversation with Israeli author Ayelet Tsabari, who mined her own Yemini background for Songs for the Brokenhearted, winner of a 2024 National Jewish Book Award, a sweeping mutigenerational novel about love, loss and reconnection and the complex history of Yemeni Jews in Israel. Free and open to all.

Join the New York Jewish Week in partnership with UJA-Federation New York for the next event in our Folio literary series: author Aylelet Tsabari joins us to discuss Mizrahi Jewish identity, the allure and trauma of family secrets, and how authors like Tsabari are trying to make themselves heard in a market that has become hostile to Israeli voices. She will be joined in conversation with Andrew Silow-Carroll, Editor at Large of the New York Jewish Week.

You are invited to join award-winning Israeli author Ayelet Tsabari for a reading from her debut novel Songs for the Broken Hearted and a conversation moderated by Lynn Bessoudo, writer and Jewish community member. An informal reception will follow. Copies of the book will be available for sale and signing by the author.
