When he discovers that his bank is violating OFAC laws and funding terrorists in the Middle East he alerts t he bank's top brass. They ignore him. After struggling with the conflict b etween his position as a fully assimilated member of his professional comm unity and his moral obligations as a man and a Jew\, he turns whistle-blow er and goes to the DOJ. The night before his deposition he disappears.\n\n Eliana Golden was thirteen when her father disappeared. Years later\, afte r surprising her family by joining the NYPD\, Eliana meets a mysterious an d alluring soldier\, a man who is far more dangerous than Eliana-and every one except those at the highest and most secret levels of the U.S. governm ent-understands. And he knows exactly what happened to her father.\n\nWhat follows is a journey into the darkest depths of America's covert war agai nst terrorism and the horrific moral compromises it can entail.\n\nThe Mea ning of the Murder is a psychological drama and a meditation on the moral ambiguity of violence\, telling the multi-layered story of a family recove ring from trauma\, a detective determined to solve a crime\, and the price we pay for safety in the war on terror.\n\n\n \;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMan y thanks to Michael Sigman for leading this discussion.\nPlease email info @shalomcollaborative to let him know to expect you!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\ n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll are welcome t o attend\, to suggest books and to volunteer to lead discussions.
