We are very excited to announce the second publication in our series Mondoweiss in Print: Reading Maimonides in Gaza, by Marilyn Garson. Between 2011 and 2015, Garson lived through two wars as she worked for Mercy Corps and UNRWA in Gaza. Reading Maimonides In Gaza is her incredible memoir of that tumultuous time. An expanded 25-page version of Garson’s story Mondoweiss originally published online last March, the book includes exclusive new content and provides an intimate and harrowing look at the life-saving work aid organizations did in Gaza during two Israeli attacks. Mixed in with this reporting is Garson’s own process of coming to understand her connection to Judaism while under fire from Israeli warplanes. A portion of the proceeds from Reading Maimonides In Gaza will go to support We Are Not Numbers, a Gaza-based writing project for Palestinian youth.

You are the person for whom Mondoweiss gathers and delivers news. Whether you’ve donated to our year-end fundraising drive, will do it today in the last hours of our drive, or you share what you learn from Mondoweiss with others, you are one of the Thousand Voices for Truth. We are grateful for every dollar you invest and every action you take to bring the world the truth from Palestine.

Phil Weiss writes: Today I pay tribute to Cindy and Craig Corrie and their tireless work for justice—and I am also proud and grateful to share Cindy’s endorsement of our work at Mondoweiss: “Mondoweiss keeps me and our entire activist community updated and invigorated while allowing people around the world to share how they challenge injustice.” I hope you’ll join Cindy in donating: your gift today will help release $60,000 in additional challenge funds.

Mondoweiss has about $23,000 left to raise to meet the challenge of four visionary supporters: to raise $100,000 by the end of 2017. They will provide an additional $60,000 toward journalism that powers justice if we meet their challenge–and I know that because you value Mondoweiss, we can still get to the finish line. We are extremely grateful to all who have contributed already, and thanks in advance to those who will take action now to keep the information flowing.

Mark Braverman, a writer for Mondoweiss as well as a longtime reader, is one of the Thousand Voices for Truth. He shares his reasons for valuing the site, and asks you to check out a short video that showcases amazing photos from the site. Please watch, share and donate: your gift today will help release $60,000 in additional challenge funds.

Over the next few weeks, we are seeking your help to unlock $60,000 in challenge funds to keep Mondoweiss thriving. To inspire you, we will be sharing comments from some of the Thousand Voices for Truth—the people who have contributed news reports, insights, humor and images for you and all those who, like you, want to know what is really going on. We are honored that Mondoweiss is a channel for Bob, Mersiha, Jonathan and Tom in their work to inform and mobilize the public around the globe. And we are proud that four donors have created a Challenge Fund as a vote of confidence in Mondoweiss, and a means of strengthening our efforts in the year to come. Please add your voice today by investing at any level to join in delivering the quality of news Palestine needs—and deserves.
