Sari Bashi is a human rights attorney and writer who will share about her new memoir, “Upside-Down Love: A Memoir in Two Voices,” which came out in English in January. “Upside-Down Love” tells the story of how Sari, an Israeli-American human rights attorney, created a shared life with her husband, a Palestinian professor from Gaza who is based in the West Bank. Sari will discuss her experience of building and raising her Jewish-Palestinian family in the West Bank and the process of writing and publishing the memoir, which originally came out in Hebrew. She will also talk about the moral and individual culpability of Jewish Israelis in the current situation, the future of Israel/Palestine, and the state of human rights more broadly.
Books will be available for purchase.
