The Jerusalem Syndrome

By Marc Maron

Discussion: Wednesday, May 7th at noon at Congregation Beth Emek. Please bring a bag lunch and join us!

Beth Emek Book Group's next book is "The Jerusalem Syndome" by Marc Maron. From the cover: "The Jerusalem syndrome is a genuine psychological phenomenon that often strikes visitors to the Holy Land--the delusion that they are suddenly direct vessels for the voice of God. Marc Maron seems to have a distinctly American version of the Jerusalem syndrome, which has led him on a lifelong quest for religious significance and revelation in the most unlikely of places."
