Join Siegal Lifelong Learning for a book discussion led by Sylvia Abrams, PhD
Iddo Gefen is an author and neurocognitive researcher. Jerusalem Beach, his first book, received the Israeli Minister of Culture’s Award in 2017 and the 2023 Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature. We will explore Gefen’s debut comic novel, Mrs. Lilienblum’s Cloud Factory, about a tech startup that turns sand into rain clouds. The story races forward as the Lilienblum family builds a company around Mrs. Lilienblum’s invention, turning startup culture, the obsession with company valuation and funding, family secrets, and romantic and familial love into a source of comedy— all told with humor, warmth, and compassion.
