And my Chanuka story collection, The Makings of a Miracle, is available in paperback and Kindle formats on Amazon.

My story A Star Shall Rise from Yaakov, about Bar Kochba’s revolt, is being printed in Inyan in two installments. The first installment was in last week’s issue, and the second will be in this week’s, IY”H.

I apologize for late notice – I didn’t realize it was last week until I actually opened the magazine on Shabbos.

Have meaningful Three Weeks!

My story, Across the Desert, will be in Hamodia’s Pesach Story Supplement this week, IY”H. It is a sequel to my story in the Sukkos supplement, following Elitzur’s journey from Yavneh to Bavel. Hope you enjoy it.

These stories were originally published in Hamodia’s Inyan Magazine and since then have been used in classrooms by teachers all over the world. Recommended for ages 14 and up. Learn, or teach, about Chanuka in a fun and engaging way!

Hope you enjoy these stories, and please spread the word!
