I/P Peace: Tracing Homelands with Linda Dittmar
Thursday, May 2, 2024 • 24 Nisan 5784
7:30 PM - 9:00 PMCDT (60 Highland St; in-person only)Chapters 11-12 of Tracing Homelands
The Israel/Palestine Peace Committee invites members and friends of CDT to an evening with the Israeli writer and scholar Linda Dittmar, author of a powerful new memoir about her Israeli childhood and the Palestinian landscapes she encounters as an adult. Tracing Homelands: Israel, Palestine, and the Claims of Belonging vividly describes the years before statehood, the 1948 war, and the traumas of dispossession and attachment traced literally upon the land. Born in 1938 and growing up in Herzliya and Tel Aviv, Dittmar takes us on a journey across place and time, offering wise, sensitive, and honest perspectives in beautiful prose.
Linda Dittmar is a professor emerita of literature and film at U-Mass Boston; Tracing Homelands is available in paperback from Olive Branch Press. You don't need to read the book to join the conversation!

DecDecember 16 , 2025GBIO House Meeting
Tuesday, Dec 16th 7:00p to 8:00p
Join us at the home of a CDT member for an intentional, focused, small-group conversation, known as a House Meeting. The purpose of this meeting is for members of the CDT community to share their experiences with an issue or pressure that you or your community are facing. With so much that is hard in the world these days, our hope is that this is a place to safely air your lived experience or concerns. The session will be led by a member of CDT's Greater Boston Interfaith Organization (GBIO) team. Through House Meetings, we get to know each other deeply, support one another, and may even lay the groundwork for GBIO's next major campaign. Come as you are! No preparation required, and no prior experience necessary. -

DecDecember 18 , 2025Festival of Daughters
Thursday, Dec 18th 6:00p to 7:00p
On the Shabbat of Channukah, Jewish communities that trace their roots back to the Middle East and North Africa will celebrate the Festival of the Daughters, commemorating the Channukah heroine Judith. Join Alyx Bernstein after Dorshei Lights at 6pm on Thursday, December 18th to meet this extraordinary woman who defended the Jewish people in a time of oppression. We'll explore how the story of Judith, first written by Jews in the first century BCE, has emerged and reemerged as a story of resistance, Jewish strength, and powerful womanhood over the centuries, and how this lesser-known heroine's legacy shapes our Channukah celebrations today. -
