An Improbable Friendship
7807 Centella Street, Carlsbad, 92009
Cost: Free
Join the Sister Faiths (Christian, Jewish, and Islam) for a discussion of the story of Yasser Arafat's mother-in-law, the wife of Israel's top general, and their 40-year mission of peace. An Improbable Friendship is the dual biography of Israeli Ruth Dayan, now 97, who was Moshe Dayan's wife for 37 years, and Palestinian journalist Raymonda Tawil, Yasser Arafat's mother-in-law, now 74. It reveals for the first time the two women's surprising and secret 40-year friendship and delivers the story of their turbulent lives growing up in a war-torn country.
