Jonathan Marc Gribetz, Princeton University, will speak about his new book on the history of the Palestine Liberation Organization Research Center, from its establishment in 1965 until its expulsion from Lebanon in 1983. Gribetz examines why the PLO invested in research about Judaism and Zionism and how the knowledge it acquired informed the PLO’s relationship to Israel. This talk is free and open to the public and free campus parking is available. Register on the Bildner Center website.

Sponsor: The Allen and Joan Bildner Center for the Study of Jewish Life at Rutgers University
