New Publication from Mondoweiss in Print: Reading Maimonides in Gaza

“I am not the judge but I am a witness: J’accuse. The war will live, it will be part of a living structure until someone is held accountable. Someone who knew.”

We are very excited to announce the second publication in our series Mondoweiss in Print, Reading Maimonides in Gaza, by Marilyn Garson.

Between 2011 and 2015, Marilyn Garson lived through two wars as she worked for Mercy Corps and UNRWA in Gaza. Reading Maimonides In Gaza is her incredible memoir of that tumultuous time. The book mixes an intimate and harrowing behind-the-scenes look at the life-saving work aid organizations did to support the people of Gaza during two Israeli attacks with Garson’s own process of coming to understand her connection to Judaism while under fire from Israeli warplanes. Reading Maimonides in Gaza is an expanded 25-page version of Garson’s story that we originally ran last March that features exclusive new content.

A portion of the proceeds from every copy of Reading Maimonides In Gaza will go to support We Are Not Numbers, a Gaza-based project featuring news and essays written by Palestinian youth. You can learn more about their work at wearenotnumbers.org.

Reading Maimonides In Gaza joins Phil Weiss’s The World The Settlers Made as our two print publications, and we hope to be adding more in the coming year. Please be sure to check out our new web store to find all of our publications and t-shirts. Your purchase will help support news and analysis unavailable through the mainstream media regarding the struggle for Palestinian human rights.
