Had a great experience last week. Live theater is non-existent, therefore it's moving into virtual performances. Theatre 40, Beverly Hills, had its first virtual performance with professional actors from TV, film, and stage, via Zoom with my comedy "Best Revenge: A Harmless Subterfuge". For those reading this who are 'of a certain age', the subtext is ageism in the arts. Performance was followed by Q&A. After the first of the year, Theatre 40 plans to produce a virtual performance of my comedy: "Freedom, Texas".

Hello all, I’d like to let you know about my newest book, A Passion for Israel: Adventures of a Sar-El Volunteer. Rabbi Joseph Telushkin called it “a sort of ‘City Slickers’ with a Jewish twist” in his blurb!

The book answers the question: what would motivate a corporate lawyer to trade in his comfortable life in America for three weeks every year to volunteer for manual labor on Israeli military bases? I am the son of a Holocaust survivor, and an ardent Zionist, who was seeking a personal way to show support for Israel. This book is based on journals I kept during 14 volunteer stints on Israeli military bases from 2006 – 2019.

I describe what life is like on Israeli army bases for volunteers–from working through a desert sandstorm, to dealing with a scorpion in my bunk, to taking refuge in a bomb shelter during a Palestinian missile attack, and more. Through simple activities—from packing kitbags and medical supplies for the soldiers to filling sandbags and assembling tank antennas—the volunteers work hard to make their contributions to the defense of Israel. While working side-by-side with Israeli soldiers, a camaraderie develops between the volunteers and soldiers and that camaraderie is the reward for our service.

This book tells the story of a volunteer experience that has enriched my life and provides a roadmap for others to show their support for Israel. I hope you enjoy it!

Help needed. My novel "Who Shall Live," inspired by Unetaneh Tokef, is being published by Black Rose in October 2021. It is a contemporary Jewish fantasy about a group from a Jewish community in Indiana who flee to a nearby mystical forest to escape the pandemic. Contains paranormal elements.

My publisher wants comp titles. Donna Horn's novels are obvious. Being a senior, I have mostly read 20th Century Jewish works.

I'm looking for titles of Jewish contemporary fantasies, not about the Holocaust, published in the past 5 years. Know any?

Hi, Carolyn, congratulations on the upcoming publication of Who Shall Live!
Fantasy isn't my usual genre, but I do know about someone who writes about Jewish fantasy in the Jewish Review of Books: Michael Weingrad. Way back seven or eight years ago he became the subject of controversy after writing there is no Jewish fantasy; was eventually proved wrong and recanted. Here's an article from more recently that reviews a couple of Jewish books in that genre. https://jewishreviewofbooks.com/uncat... You get a couple of free reads even if you're not a subscriber, but it's a great resource and they are always offereing bargains for new subscribers. If you were, you could just search for "fantasy" on their website as I just did!

Good luck with your book. Maybe some other members have read some they can suggest.

[David]

So glad to find this group and the scope of subjects. Let me introduce myself. My name is David Kerr and I've recently published 'The Wall of Tears: The Human Face of The Israel - Palestine Conflict.' I've gathered stories from my visits to Israel & the West Bank and integrated them into a novel. See website https://www.davidkerr.com.au/

Nick Hartgerink, former editor editor of an Australian newspaper wrote, 'Wall of Tears is an extraordinary book. Author David Kerr has successfully straddled that most bitter of divides, the Israel-Palestine imbroglio, to create a novel of both warmth and wisdom. Told through the eyes of Uri, the son of a Holocaust survivor, Wall of Tears explores the creation of modern Israel at a human level, through the experiences of a Jewish family and their Arab neighbours. There is conflict, love, betrayal, loss and a shattering conclusion – essential elements of a compelling read. And through it all there is a sense that the author has a deep understanding of and respect for the history and complex issues that continue to rob Israelis and Palestinians of peaceful co-existence.'

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

FREE ON JAN. 9 AND 10--"My Name is Rebecca: A Novelette," is the story of a father and his sons who emigrated from Russia to the United States in the early 1900s, living in New York and then settling in Wisconsin. The reader accompanies the family as they leave behind their home land to escape persecution and poverty, searching for religious freedom and a better life. They bring not only their beliefs and traditions to America, but they also bring the story of their family to hand down to future generations. I wrote this book in honor of my mother’s family who came from Russia in the early 1900s. As it evolved, I realized that it was in honor to all who have come for a better life. My mother was born on January 9, 1927. In honor of her birthday, it is free this weekend.

Oh..Phyllis
That is, a wonderful tribute to the memory of your mother,
as well as writing your book. I agree with you that it's a tribute to all who took the challenge to move for a better life. What an honor.
If we don't save the history, the culture and ties that bind will fizzle out.
Congratulations to you on the book.

Dear Friends!
I hope everyone had a fantastic week!!!! I would like to announce my latest novel “The Syndrome That Saved Us,” the fourth and final book in my most recent series called A Jewish Family Saga. The series follows the Schatzman family from America to Germany before and during World War 2. A horrific Anti-Semitic event that is based on a true story sets this series into motion. The final book in the series “The Syndrome That Saved Us,” is based on another true event. This time two of the family members find themselves in Italy when the Nazi’s arrive. It is in Rome that they meet a group of three doctors who invented a false disease, which they named syndrome K. A syndrome created to save Jewish lives. The Syndrome that Saved us is a tale of hope and of a few brave souls who refused to be intimidated by Hitler’s murderous regime.

I have included links to the novel via my website as well as the Amazon page, where you will find the official blurb as well as links to the book. The novel is available on Kindle Unlimited as well. I send you all many blessings and thank you for reading.

Hi again David.,
Thank you for including the number of the post. It made it easier to find. I am so sorry I didn't see your introduction when you posted it.

Thank you for joining.

I am happy to announce my new book: Third Wind. The book is written from a perspective of an Israeli person who is a second-generation son to holocaust survivors. It includes two stories about intriguing, and at times impossible relationships. It shows us how these relationships develop and evolve, and ultimately get resolved.
The stories move between generations and between continents. From Israel to Poland, to USA, to Australia, to Buenos Aires...

[Carolyn]

Advice needed and apologies if this topic has already been covered.
I'm working on my third novel in which all the characters, themes, settings, etc. are Jewish. Characters insert Hebrew/Yiddish words in their dialogue that are commonly used, like Shabbat and bar mitzvah. Other words, like V'ahavta, are unfamiliar to non-Jews. How much explaining is needed, if any, for the novel to be accessible to people of all faiths?

Sorry for the delayed response, Carolyn. My opinion is maybe a brief parenthetical translation the first time. Also, Michael LeBrecht in our current nonfiction read has put a glossary at the beginning of the book. That's useful in case the reader forgets--but more typically found at the end. Just opinion! Maybe you'll get some other responses.

P.S. When it comes to familiarity with such terms and expressions, you'll find Jews all across the board. So some of us could use it, too!

[Carolyn]

Thanks, Jan. I'm doing the parenthetical thing for less common terms, but so far, not for common ones like 'Shabbat.' I don't have enough to justify a glossary. I'm wondering if posters think even 'Shabbat' needs a brief explanation.

in Forgiving Maximo Rothman, there were footnotes just translating the word not giving any further explanations. i did not find it intrusive but it depends on how often it occurs possibly. it is more convenient than flipping to a glossary to me if it is a frequent use of words that need translation.

Jan wrote: "A discussion thread for authors who would like to introduce their own books"

"Jacob’s Courage: A Holocaust Love Story," chronicles the dazzling beauty of passionate love and enduring bravery in a lurid world where the innocent are enslaved and brutally murdered. This tender coming of age love story of two young Jews begins when the Nazi war machine enters Austria. Follow lovers Jacob and Rachael from their comfortable Salzburg homes to a decrepit ghetto, from there to a prison camp where they secretly become man and wife. Revel in their excitement as they escape through a tunnel, join the local partisans and fight against Nazis. Finally ride the terrifying, fetid train to Auschwitz. Stung by the death of loved-ones, enslaved and starved, the young lovers have nothing to count on but faith, love and courage. From desperation and despair, to unforgettable moments of chaste beauty, Jacob’s Courage examines a constellation of emotions during a time of brutality and genocide.

Sample Review: "In Austria in 1939, young Jacob Silverman and Rachael Goldberg are in love. Jacob plans to go on to college. Then tragedy strikes as Hitler’s army invades Austria. All of the Jews are forced to live in a decrepit ghetto. Soon they are sent to a concentration camp, where Jacob and Rachael secretly marry. They are able to escape, through a tunnel, join local partisans, and fight in the resistance. They become separated during an attack on a German train, and Jacob is captured by the Germans. The partisan leader falls in love with Rachael and tries to protect both her and her unborn child until she can be reunited with Jacob.

This is a magnificent, gripping novel of breathtaking courage under extreme circumstances. Subtitled “a Holocaust love story” because of the relationship between Jacob and Rachael, the novel describes the considerable cruelties and inhuman behavior caused by the Nazis and experienced by the Jewish people in Eastern Europe during the war. The author places readers into the thick of it. You will share the pain and grief of this young Jewish couple as they are forced into imprisonment, as their friends and families are killed. The story is immensely readable, although the book is quite long. This is one of my favorite books this year."
------- Historical Novel Society:

“A tender, coming of age tale. This book shows the critical roles that love, determination, and steadfast belief play toward battling one’s demons both physically and mentally. Jacob’s Courage is ultimately a tribute to the triumphant human spirit.”
-------Jewish Book World

"And I Cried…This book brings the Holocaust to life and evokes emotions not found in many history books. Weaving together a story of love, passion, horror, and history, Weinblatt left nothing out.” -------- Sylvania Historical Society

[Nadia]

hello everyone,
I wanted to share with you my book, Worlds Apart: The Stories of my Jewish Family in Twentieth-Century Europe.

It tells the story of my great-grandfather, Marcus, and his brother, Adolphe. They left their home in Warsaw at the turn of the twentieth century. Adolphe went to see work and start a family in Switzerland, whereas Marcus went east, inspired by his Communist beliefs, and ended up in Moscow. There, he was arrested and exiled. They never saw each other again. 

A hundred years later, I rediscovered the missing part of the family and pieced together the stories hidden for generations. 

The lives of Adolphe and Marcus, and those of their daughters and granddaughters, are set against the Russian Revolutions, Stalin's repressions, the persecution of Jews across Europe and the Second World War. 

The book got some great publicity over the last few months (https://www.haaretz.com/life/books/.p...) and I would love for it to find a wider audience.
it's available via Amazon or bookshops in the UK and Barnes & noble in the US!
would love to get your thoughts and discuss!
www.nadiaragozhina.com

thank you!

Nadia,
You must be so proud of your new book.
Authors tell me when their book is published, the feeling of accomplishment is priceless.
Congrats on the book, and we wish you much success.

[Deborah]

Hi everyone,

I'd like to introduce my debut book, THE CRATE: A Story of War, a Murder, and Justice, a true crime intertwined with a Holocaust narrative - an odd mix of genres, I know.

THE CRATE tells the true story of a grisly murder that involved my family: underneath our cottage in Canada, we found a wooden crate, nailed tightly shut and hidden from view. We couldn't have imagined the contents... it turned out to contain a dismembered woman.

The discovery traumatized my family, especially my fragile parents: it dredged up their memories of surviving concentration camps, death marches, ghettoes. Evil in the past and evil in the present converge in narrative.

I felt I needed to tell the story of the victim as well as my parents' stories. The themes are relevant today: of anti-Semitism and hatred, violence and intolerance. I've spoken at Holocaust museums from the US to Canada to the UK.

The book won seven literary awards. Lee Child called it "impressive and important" and James Rollins said, "It's a gut punch, with such harrowing moments you have to stop and take a breath." The Jerusalem Post called it "exquisite."

If you read it, please let me know your thoughts. I do a ton of author talks, too, if you belong to a book club or organization needing speakers. Visit www.debbielevison.com. Thanks, all!

Hey, Stacey! Great to connect again. And thanks so much for your kind words. How are you doing through all this craziness? Here in Connecticut we're okay, but my mom in Toronto (who you know from my book) is struggling with constant isolation. It's sooo hard to be far away. Do you know what the upcoming categories are for book club reads? I'd be so thrilled for The Crate to be eligible at some point!

[Joan]

Hello. This is my first time posting so thanks for reading. I'm Joan Lipinsky Cochran and write mysteries and crime novels that take place in subcultures of American Judaism. My latest is
THE HASIDIC REBBE'S SON.
LOGLINE: The murder of an ultra-religious student seeking refuge in her home forces an investigative reporter to explore the seedy underside of South Beach’s glitzy nightclub scene and the insular world of Hasidic Judaism to find his killer.
TWO PARAGRAPH SYNOPSIS: Boca Raton reporter Becks Ruchinsky is surprised when her son, Gabe, brings a frightened young man home from college and asks her to hide him. Menachem left his Hasidic community under mysterious circumstances and fears being kidnapped. Grateful to the young man for befriending her son, whose Asperger’s makes friendships difficult, Becks takes in the boy. Six days later, he’s found floating in a canal.
Police insist Menachem’s drowning was an accident but Becks isn’t buying. Her investigation takes her from the gritty underworld of South Beach to secretive Hasidic communities in Miami and New York. With the help of her ex-gangster father and a nosy Hasidic shopkeeper, Becks discovers the leader of a cult-like religious community is subverting rabbinic law to conceal ugly truths. As she uncovers layer upon layer of lies and deceptions, Becks discovers her son’s life may depend on her ability to unearth these secrets.

Sounds fascinating. Like you, I write fiction about 21st Century American Jewish issues. It's not as popular as Holocaust-themed literature, as far as I can tell.

[Henry Holt]

I’m writing on behalf of the publisher of this book because the author wrote this book in 1938 and is unable to share it with you today. The Passenger by Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz has been hailed as a remarkable literary discovery, it is a heart-stopping novel of flight and survival written in 1930s Germany that for years was lost and is finally now being published in English. The book tells the story of Otto Silbermann, a Jewish man who flees his home when storm troopers arrive. Alone, he travels all across Germany, unwilling to accept that this nightmare has become his reality. The book is historical fiction in the truest sense: twenty-three-year-old Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz wrote The Passenger at breakneck speed in 1938, fresh in the wake of the Kristallnacht pogroms, and his prose flies at the same pace. The Passenger is an indelible portrait of a man and a society careening out of control, and a rare work of fiction that is writing about the impending Holocaust without the hindsight many books on the subject have.

We are eager to spread the word about this incredible book, if you're interested please send a message to the Henry Holt inbox and I am happy to send out some advance reader's copies to members of your group.

Thanks,
Maia
