What if … buried deep inside your brain were eyewitness memories of events that changed history?

Are you the descendant of heroes? Or of cowards? Would you want to know? And what of those Judeans whose ideas, not swords, would one day conquer the world?It's too late for them. But it’s not too late for you.This series debut is fun, thought-provoking, and historically accurate. But what’s with the goat? For ages 12-120. *** "A wonderfully engaging and easy way for young teens to enter the tumultuous Jewish world of the first century C.E. Readers get to know in a very personal way the issues faced by the people who shaped what Judaism came to be. This book reminds me of … As a Driven Leaf, … by far … the favorite among my students of Judaism in antiquity … No wonder it has been republished many times … I fully hope and expect that this book will have the same memorable impact on its young – and older – readers for an equally long … time." –Elliot Dorff, Rabbi, Ph.D. Rector and Distinguished Professor of Philosophy American Jewish University "What a fun ... way to learn about Jewish history! Jump in with these lovable characters as you go back in time … This book is extremely well researched, using primary sources as a springboard for compelling historical fiction. Teachers of Jewish history, texts, and culture, this book is your new go-to resource!" –Dr. Rachel Lerner, Dean, Graduate Center for Jewish Education, American Jewish University
