Enjoy a delicious lunch while listening to Yishay speak about his book\nover Zoom. \n_Dog_ is a raw\, unflinching novel\, drawing on the author’s own experiences as\na former elite IDF combat officer suffering from PTSD and addiction. The story\nfollows Geller\, a decorated soldier who returns from Gaza to Tel Aviv only to\nbe haunted by the trauma of combat — including the memory of a soldier killing\na dog in the field. Haunted and estranged from family and comrades\, Geller\nspirals into heroin addiction\, living in the underbelly of Tel Aviv among\nmisfit junkies. \nHis life takes a turn when a stray dog enters his world. Initially\nindifferent\, Geller eventually rescues the dog\, forming an unexpected bond.\nThe narrative alternates between Geller’s fragmented\, drug-addled perspective\nand brief\, often humorous\, chapters from the dog’s point of view\, as well as\nfrom the perspective of Doris\, a lonely apartment cleaner who sees potential\nin Geller. These shifts broaden the scope beyond Geller’s self-absorbed\ndespair\, hinting at the possibility of redemption. \nThis event is part of the JCC’s ongoing **Book Series** \, where visiting\nauthors give public talks on their work to bring new ideas and literature to\nthe community. **The cost of this program is $12.50/person**. \n_JCC community events and programs are open to all regardless of faith or\nbackground. All are welcome._ \nOrganized by: JCC of Greater Ann Arbor \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/14834 URL:https://www.jewishannarbor.org/event/jewish-book-series-lunch-learn-with-yishay-ishi-ron/ LOCATION:Jewish Community Center of Greater Ann Arbor 2935 Birch Hollow Dr\, Ann Arbor CATEGORIES:Adults,Arrival / Check In,College Students,Educational,Food Available ($),Israel,Israel in Crisis,Older Adults,Parking (free),Special Guest,Young Adults ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.jewishannarbor.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Yishay_Ishi_Ron_Jlive-dR8cFP.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="JCC of Greater Ann Arbor":MAILTO:jcc@jccannarbor.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260609T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260609T150000 DTSTAMP:20260517T171409 CREATED:20260517T091619Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260517T091619Z UID:10006282-1781013600-1781017200@www.jewishannarbor.org SUMMARY:Ann Arbor Jewish Film Festival Shorts Series - Films: Babka & Double Happiness + Recipe Share & Food Competition DESCRIPTION:Celebrating 25 Years of Jewish Cinema\nIn honor of the **Ann Arbor Jewish Film Festival’s 25th Anniversary** \, we are\nproud to present a special showcase of **25 films** throughout the season.
