Join Irene Shaland, internationally-published art and travel writer, educator, and lecturer for a deeper look at Malta’s Jewish history and present day society. This presentation will highlight Malta’s most interesting Jewish narrative through a spellbinding trajectory still under-the-radar for most travelers: from Israelites sailing there with Phoenicians three thousand years ago, to the first Jewish traveler, the Biblical Paul, arriving in Malta in the first century CE, through the dark times of Jewish slavery during the Knights of St. John’s rule in the 16th century, to today’s blossoming Jewish community. Much of what will be shared has been has been captured in her latest book “Shaland’s Jewish Travel Guide to Malta and Corsica” which is available on Amazon UK, Amazon USA or the Amazon in your country.
