Monday 20 October 2025 2:30 PM EDT (6:30 PM - 9:00 PM UTC+11) - ONLINE

Book launch - Still Lives & Jewish Not Zionist with author Marilyn Garson

by The Jewish Council of Australia

Marilyn Garson worked for 4 years with Palestinians in Gaza including the 2014 Israeli invasion. Returning to New Zealand she experienced rejection by the Jewish community. These two books describe her experiences. Marilyn co-founded Alternative Jewish Voices in NZ and was an original member of Global Jews for Palestine.

In “Still Lives” Marilyn Garson narrates her experience of living and working in Gaza, reminding readers that this is what must be centred: stories of Palestinians and their lives. These are some of the stories which those of us, particularly but not only Jewish people, in so-called Australia need to engage with, learn from, and remember - Jordana Silverstein, historian and writer, member Loud Jew Collective, Naarm (Melbourne).

One day Jewish Not Zionist will be riveting testimony to a Jewish solidarity with Palestine that blossomed in our unique context of Aotearoa. Right now, it is an urgent meditation on getting there. Together.” - Nadia Abu, Aotearoa organiser
