Join A Conversation with Palestinian Writer Sayed Kashua and AJU President Jeffrey Herbst
Sayed Kashua is a well-known Palestinian Israeli who made the choice to write almost entirely in Hebrew despite growing up speaking Arabic. Sayed eventually, and famously, declared that he was leaving Israel, saying that he had “lost my small war” and had no hope for Jewish-Arab coexistence in Israel. Today, in addition to having published several novels, he writes columns and for television. Sayed most recently finished editing the screenplay of the forthcoming season three of the global hit “Shtisel.” He will be interviewed by AJU President Jeffrey Herbst.
