Sunday Mail : Dry Bones in New Jersey

Posting a cartoon every weekday leaves no room for me to simply share news, ideas, and other stuff with you, so here's a Dry Bones feature called: 'Sunday Mail: Letters from Dry Bones'.

New Jersey?!
Don't tell anyone but starting today I'm off for two weeks in America. Being guilt-ridden at the thought of leaving you without cartoons, I've drawn up a set which will automatically be posted while I'm away. I'll start at CAMERA's conference on the Delegitimization of Israel (today at Boston U) and end the trip on October 21st giving a seminar at Yale for YIISA on political cartoons and antisemitism.

In between those two heavy gigs I thought it would be fun to meet with some of you guys, So on Sunday, October 17th I'll be in New Jersey at Congregation AABJ&D. I'll be telling jokes, spilling secrets, and sharing my "insights" in an evening called "The Latest News and Other Jokes"!
If you're in travelling distance, and can make it, call 973 736 1407 to book a place or get further information.

The folks at AABJ&D made up a flyer. I've pasted it in below:

Delegitimization

In exactly one month I'll be in Boston. I'm scheduled to be one of the speakers at CAMERA's conference on "the Global Campaign to Delegitimize Israel" at Boston U. So if you're in the area . . .

According to the organizers:

"Israel faces a convergence of global forces that may undermine its legitimacy in the eyes of the the world community. A two-day conference will bring together international experts to articulate the enormous challenges of the moment as well as to define constructive action to be taken in countering the biased onslaught. The focus will include the role of the media, NGOs, the UN, academia and the mainline churches in threatening Israel's legitimacy. The urgent conditions in Europe will be examined as well."

Israeli September

One of the pleasures of my life is the enjoyment of Israeli culture.

The constant propaganda war against us hides the realities and entertaining quirks of Israeli life. In response, I feel the need to do battle against those who malign and try to delegitimize our wonderful, creative, amazing, and brave little land and its people.

But every now and then it's fun to take the time to reveal what it's like to live here. What it's like to be at home.
