Hello Veterans
I will be visiting many cities all over the US in the next 3 weeks signing a new book I co-wrote with Enzo Apicella (A to Zion- The Definitive Israeli Lexicon- out on May 27th). Controversy to follow…Books will be available for purchase ahead of publication at the events.
The first event is on Wednesday May 6, NYC. An historic dialogue between ultra orthodox Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro and yours truly:
Please spread the message and come to meet me.
Judaism versus Jewish Identity Politics: Religion versus Tribalism
Wednesday May 6th 7:30 pm Theatre 80
80 St. Marks Place, New York, NY
Two prominent thinkers, the ultra orthodox Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro, and philosopher, Jazz artist and ex-Jew Gilad Atzmon, meet to discuss hard questions about Judaism, Jewish politics and the meaning of Jewishness. This unique gathering, the first of its kind, promises to help you unravel the tangled web of secular Jewish politics, right and left.
After the discussion there will be a live Jazz jam session featuring some of New York City’s preeminent musicans

Gilad Atzmon is an Israeli-born British jazz saxophonist, novelist, political activist and writer.
Atzmon’s album Exile was BBC jazz album of the year in 2003. Playing over 100 dates a year,[4] he has been called “surely the hardest-gigging man in British jazz.” His albums, of which he has recorded nine to date, often explore the music of the Middle East and political themes. He has described himself as a “devoted political artist.” He supports the Palestinian right of return and the one-state solution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
His criticisms of Zionism, Jewish identity, and Judaism, as well as his controversial views on The Holocaust and Jewish history have led to allegations of antisemitism from both Zionists and anti-Zionists. A profile in The Guardian in 2009 which described Atzmon as “one of London’s finest saxophonists” stated: “It is Atzmon’s blunt anti-Zionism rather than his music that has given him an international profile, particularly in the Arab world, where his essays are widely read.”
His new book The Wandering Who? is now availble at Amazon.com
