“you can’t have love in a society that doesn’t love”: click here to hear me speak with Shlomi Hatuka

 

Shlomi broadcast this conversation a few months ago and now made it into a podcast.  I don’t like listening to myself, and heard in this dialogue in Hebrew that I was breathless all the time, and didn’t read very well.  But the subjects were fascinating.  Shlomi is very active in the Yemenite community and has been very prominent in the movement to uncover the truth about Yemenite children who disappeared after they were brought to Israel.  And yet we talked about what it is like to be a witness to the first generation.  it is nothing like second generation because it doesn’t talk about the effects on the individual, but it concentrate on witnessing the effects on survivors.  And then suddenly he shifted the subject to my next book in Hebrew, about love and sex.  And now that I think of it, my answer was the same as the previous subject.  I have a need to transmit what I witness.
