The Wolf Shall Dwell with the Lamb Monday, August 31, 6:30 PM PT Join us for a discussion of The Wolf Shall Dwell with the Lamb by Emmet Hirsch. Set in the Lebanese village of Behamdoun in 1931, the novel begins with the birth of Joseph Friedmann to a 15-year-old Syrian-Jewish girl hastily married to a Belgian businessman thirty years her senior. Joseph’s journey takes him through a Catholic convent, harrowing encounters with antisemitism, and eventually to Palestine during its War of Independence.
