Peter and Tuvia will discuss, debate, dissect, argue and hopefully also agree on wide range of issues relating to the American Jewish experience. Who is a Jew? What is a Jew? And does anybody really care?
The evening will incorporate readings by actress Suzanne Toren of segments from the Spiegel and Israeli bestseller The Lies They Tell by Tuvia Tenenbom, and include a Q&A session with audience participation.

Sample reviews of LIES:
"The Lies They Tell ranks Tenenbom among the best social anthropologists, like Comte Alexis de Tocqueville and Mark Twain. Tenenbom, too, analyzes America's living standards, democracy, and social contract. This polymath has an interviewing style of disarming exuberance and bonhomie that keeps the reader turning pages to get to the next encounter." American Thinker
"Riveting ... Brutal, irreverent, and cutting." Publishers Weekly (Starred review)
"Savage, disturbing, comical ... Tenenbom has again written a book that is unputdownable." The Jerusalem Post
"Laughing (and sighing) all the way to the last page … Tuvia uses humor surgically, precisely, in order to lance pretentions and hypocrisy." Huffington Post
"While most people were writing Trump off, author Tuvia Tenenbom was (unknowingly) writing book about how he’d win." MEDIAite
"Fantastic ... Riveting ... It’s hard not to be a fan of Tenenbom’s audacity, zeal and energy." Algemeiner

WHO are the real Americans, the people who make up America?
In THE LIES THEY TELL Tuvia travels through America to find out.
He visits megachurches looking for the holy spirit in America and drives to Indian reservations in search of ancient spirituality. He goes to black ghettos and listens to gang members explain the logic of killing fellow blacks, and he meets Jews who dedicate day and night in hatred of their brethren. He dines with wealthy whites who profess a love of poor blacks and wanders into the Senate, where the elected Brave reside. He flirts with Arab virgins who show him the sweet things of life and schmoozes with robbers who teach him the true meaning of love. He finagles his way into a prison where skinheads pray, and he spends his free time with shiny shotguns and glitzy pistols, just shooting. He experiments with drugs on American streets and ponders the deeper meaning of life with rednecks. He sits with monks who throw obscenities at him, and with the homeless who put their trust in him. He mingles with American soldiers who explain to him how to invade foreign countries, and he joins intellectual Americans who teach him the nature of mother earth, the goodness of man, and the sadism of the Israeli.
Welcome to the real America, a place you call home but don’t yet know.
