No one can forget the horrifying terror attack of 2001 when a suicide bomber killed 21 people, mostly teenage girls, at a Tel Aviv nightclub.

Rowan Somerville explores the parallel stories in Beat: The True Story of a Bomb and a Heart Transplant.
This season of the Tel Aviv Review is made possible by\xa0The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, which promotes humanistic, democratic, and liberal values in the social discourse in Israel.
