SUMMARY:Hostage by Eli Sharabi - 491-days of cap­tiv­i­ty by Hamas
DESCRIPTION:Hostage by Eli Sharabi presented by Not Your Bubbe’s Book Club at The Boston Synagogue \nHostage by Eli Sharabi\nthe featured  March read at Not Your Bubbe’s Book Club\nTo read Eli Sharabi’s mem­oir about his 491-day cap­tiv­i­ty by Hamas\, writ­ten and pub­lished mere months after his release\, defies log­ic in some ways. It defies what is taught in both psy­chol­o­gy class­es and writ­ing class­es: that one needs time to process\, to obtain per­spec­tive. Read­ing Eli Sharabi’s mem­oir\, Hostage\, breaks those con­ven­tions wide open. The book opens on Octo­ber 7\, 2023\, after ter­ror­ists have burst into Sharabi’s house. Before the first ten pages are over\, Shara­bi is in Gaza\, kid­napped along­side a Thai agri­cul­tur­al work­er named Khun. But before Shara­bi even cross­es that bor­der\, he goes into sur­vival mode: ​“I focus and con­cen­trate on one mis­sion: sur­viv­ing to return home.” Read more: \nJaime Hern­don\n– September 29\, 2025 \nNot Your Bubbe’s Book Club offers a unique Jewish twist featuring exciting  Jewish authors and Jewish stories directly featured from The  Jewish Book Council. Eli Sharabi’s personal story about being taking HOSTAGE on that unforgettable day: October7  is gripping and leaves no room to catch a breath. \nDate: March 23\, 2026 at 7:00 PM (Eastern Time) \nJoin us for a meaningful discussion about this memoir of survival as a Hostage held captive for 492 in the tunnels of Gaza at The Boston Synagogue.\nLet’s share this story together with the honor it requires.\nDon’t miss out on the chance to share your thoughts and connect with fellow book lovers.\nSee you there! \nStay tuned for Not Your Bubbe’s latest releases for the Spring & Summer season.  You will want to secure these fabulous reads and join us for the discussion.  Updates coming soon. \n— See you there\nPS: Grab the April book while you are at it:   Songs for the Broken Hearted by Ayelet Tsabari \n\nCalling all bibliophiles: Do you like to read between the wines? 📚\nIf you’re looking for a group that celebrates a love of both books and a good drink\, then you’re in the right place!\n  \nRSVP here!
