From Jerusalem rooftops to silent hospitals, from broken engagements to rebuilt trust, from porch minyanim to shidduchim forged in unexpected places— this novel captures lives in motion

And when you have no strength left to keep going, especially then, and when it feels like help will never come, perhaps that’s when it already has.
