The Adventures of Yadel the Dreidel: Book One: The Rise of the Zealots

From the editor:

"I thoroughly enjoyed the book because of its mix of humor, Jewish history, and pathos. The narrator of the book has a wicked sense of humor but is also able to convey vast swathes of Jewish history with poignancy-the pogroms, the othering, and the sufferings and tribulations, as well as the rise of zealotry and how it destroyed the Jewish people and drove them out of their own land. The message of peace and harmony, of humans uniting, of religion dividing people, the dangers of adhering blindly to rituals while forgetting humaneness, the perils of fanaticism . . . all this had been put forward in an engaging manner."
