Nov. 2: Wedding Song: Memoirs of an Iranian Jewish Woman


A talk by Iranian-Jewish-American author Farideh Goldin

When: Wednesday 2 November, 7:30 PM

Where: Arthur M. Glick Jewish Community Center, 6701 Hoover Road, Indianapolis

Wedding Song: Memoirs of an Iranian Jewish Woman is an unflinching personal story of family, religion, and community that shows the horror of growing up in the shadow of religious fundamentalism. Farideh Goldin was born to her fifteen-year-old mother in 1953 and into a Jewish community living in an increasingly hostile Islamic state—pre-revolutionary Iran. This memoir is Goldin’s passionate and painful account of her childhood in a poor Jewish household and her emigration to the United States in 1975.

The Internet is changing the way people view the world, both in terms what's out there and what's ... One thing Ochman mentioned in the blog entry was an editorial by Steve Outing of the Poynter Institute For Media Studies and a columnist for Editor and Publisher Online.
