Great Neck Library is hosting a lecture title “Rockets into Roses presented by Yaron Bob” on Wednesday, March 20 at 7:00 p.m. at the Main Library Community Room, 159 Bayview Avenue in Great Neck.
Yaron Bob is an Israeli blacksmith who lives within a mile of the Gaza border. After a few close calls with rockets, he reacted to the terror that he and his community were facing by creating something meaningful out of the destruction of the Kassam.
Works created out of these materials include roses, menorahs, and even a tuned harp.
“I take the Kassam, the instrument of death, and I change it. I transfer it into something of beauty.” – Yaron Bob

Sign up online, in-person, or via phone; non-residents are welcome as walk-ins, as space allows. For more information, please contact Great Neck Library at (516) 466-8055 or email [email protected].
