ETZ CHAIM’S BOOK GROUP

   Our next book we will be reading is Wayfarers, the latest novel from acclaimed author and filmmaker Arnon Z. Shorr. He weaves a thrilling tale of survival, faith, and the enduring power of heritage. Drawing from the timeless story of Exodus, this post-apocalyptic adventure is set in a world where religion is forbidden, and the struggle to preserve cultural identity becomes a matter of life and death.

   In a desolate future where the totalitarian New Dominion has outlawed all religious practice, a group of Jewish refugees embarks on a perilous journey to the coast, seeking safety aboard a waiting freighter. Led by the courageous Rabbi Moshe and the skeptical yet resourceful Abe Katz, the group must navigate hostile landscapes, evade relentless pursuit, and confront internal doubts about faith and survival. Central to their mission is the protection of "the Ark," a digital archive preserving thousands of years of Jewish tradition. As threats from both outside forces and internal conflicts mount Wayfarers explores themes of cultural resilience, identity, and the complex relationship between past and future.

   The author, Mr. Shorr, is generously donating books for us, and you can contact Merilee Maeir for pickup information once they’re available.  His only request is that you review the book on Amazon.

   The author will join us on Monday, December 16 at 7p.m. on Zoom to discuss his work.

      

Ya’asher Koach

   Chuni and Leah Rappaport’s son, Eliezer ben Leah Hinda, has been called up as a paratrooper to enter Gaza.  He’s with his unit.  Our prayers are for him, his unit, and all of Am Yisrael to come back safely.

  We also recognize Captain Shaya Weidmann serving in the Israeli Army and his brother, David Weidmann, in the Israeli Air Force. Rabbi Cheses’ younger brother, Doron, is stationed in the north. May these 4 young men have hatzlacha, safety, and courage. The Israel Defense Forces is very fortunate to have these soldiers sincere dedication and our hearts.
