“Red Sea Spies: The True Story of Mossad’s Fake Diving Resort” With Author Raffi Berg

Zoom with Raffi Berg, author and Middle East editor of the BBC News website and special guest former Mossad commander, Dani Limor. Sunday, May 2, 2 p.m. In the early 1980s, on a remote part of the Sudanese coast, a new luxury resort opened for business. Little did the guests know that the staff members were undercover spies working for the Mossad, the Israeli Secret Service. Written by longtime BBC Middle East correspondent Raffi Berg, this page-turner tells the true story that inspired the recent Netflix drama “The Red Sea Diving Resort.” What began with one cryptic message pleading for help later turned into the secret evacuation of thousands of Ethiopian Jews and the spiriting of them to Israel. “Red Sea Spies” is the gripping tale of a top-secret and often parlous operation. Join the Center for Jewish Education for a riveting conversation with Raffi Berg and former Mossad commander, Dani Limor.
