Woodstock Reads 2013 Adult Title

"Every once in a long while you come across a book that touches your heart so deeply you will always remember where you were when you read it. And well after you turn the last page, the story will remain with you imprinting a message that in some small way changes how you see the world. I Shall Not Hate, Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish's personal memoir, is one such story."--Heather Reisman, Chapters

This year, the Woodstock Reads Committee encourages all of Woodstock to read this moving memoir. Dr. Isseldin Abuelaish is a Palestinian medical doctor and fertility specialist who has dedicated his life to peace in the conflict between Isreal and Palenstine. He is also the founder of The Daughter's for Life Foundation, a charitable organization established to advance the education and health of girls and women in the Middle East.
