Festival of Jewish Books & Authors opening night event

Jennifer Griffin, national security Correspondent for Fox News, and her husband Greg Myre, senior editor of NPR’s Morning Edition and former New York Times reporter, were living in Jerusalem in 1999 when the Palestinian uprising erupted. They found themselves raising two young daughters while covering the deadliest fight ever between the Israelis and Palestinians. Their experiences and conclusions are now documented in "This Burning Land: Lessons from the front Lines of the Transformed Israeli-Palestinian Conflict," which takes the reader right to the heart of the conflict. The book addresses the puzzling scenario that Israel is stronger than ever and yet it still cannot find a way to end the bloody feud with the Palestinians.
