 The New Statesman. Michael served as a Contributing Writer to the Los 
 Angeles Times Book Review for nearly ten years. His most recent book is One 
 Hundred Saturdays\, the story of Stella Levi\, who was raised within the 
 culturally rich and vibrant Juderia of Rhodes\, and who\, along with her

 with Michael Frank\, author of One Hundred Saturdays\, the story of Stella 
 Levi and her once vibrant Jewish community of Rhodes\, Greece. Frank's 
 novel delves into the culturally rich traditions of the Sephardic Juderia\,

 communicated in a plethora of languages\, including Hebrew\, Spanish\, 
 Turkish\, and Italian.   \n\nTopics covered during the discussion will 
 include:  Stella’s coming-of-age on this luminous\, legendary island in 
 the eastern Aegean\, the cultural vibrancy of the Rhodes Jewish community\, 
 the significance of the Italian colonization of Rhodes in 1912\, and the 
 deportation and destruction of the Jewish community from the furthest 
 location under Nazi influence. \n\nClick here to register for
