If you’ve been enjoying my stories then here’s exciting news: my novel is here! Just in time for Chanuka, this is historical fiction set in the Land of Israel in the times of King Antiochus. The novel explores the conflict between Judaism and Hellenism through the eyes of its teenage characters, and the role of the Oral Torah in Judaism’s survival. Intended for young adults, approximately ages 12 and up. There are some heavy and scary moments, so I would not recommend it for younger or especially sensitive children. A historical note at the end puts the events described in the novel into the overall context of Jewish history.
The book is available through Jewish Children’s Book Club.
I sincerely hope you enjoy my book! And here’s a piece of inside information — I am currently working on a sequel, G-d willing, to be published before next year’s Chanuka.
