DAWN
WIESEL, ELIE
HELEN M. ASCHER
TWO MEN WAIT THROUGH THE NIGHT IN BRITISH-CONTROLLED PALESTINE FOR DAWN--AND FOR DEATH. ONE IS A CAPTURED ENGLISH OFFICER. THE OTHER IS ELISHA, A YOUNG ISRAELI FREEDOM FIGHTER WHOSE ASSIGNMENT IS TO KILL THE OFFICER IN REPRISAL FOR BRITAIN'S EXECUTION OF A JEWISH PRISONER. ELISHA'S PAST IS THE NIGHTMARE MEMORY OF NAZI DEATH CAMPS. HE IS THE ONLY SURVIVING MEMBER OF HIS FAMILY. HIS FUTURE IS A CHERISHED DREAM OF LIFE IN THE PROMISED HOMELAND. BUT AT DAYBREAK HIS PRESENT WILL BECOME THE TORTURED REALITY OF A PRINCIPLED MAN ORDERED TO COMMIT COLD-BLOODED MURDER. RESONANT WITH FEELING, DAWN IS AN UNFORGETTABLE JOURNEY INTO THE HUMAN HEART--AND AN ELOQUENT STATEMENT ABOUT THE MORAL BASIS OF THE NEW ISRAEL."

THE CREATION OF ISRAEL
WICKS, BEN
ROSE SPANIER
IN 1917, THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT DECLARED ITSELF IN FAVOR OF A JEWISH HOMELAND. THE AUTHOR CHRONICLES THE ENSUING YEARS, WHEN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF JEWS STREAMED INTO THE PROMISED LAND.

DAWNING OF THE DAY
A JERUSALEM TALE
SABATO, HAIM
WIN ROBINS
WITH A KEEN EYE FOR CUSTOM THE AUTHOR BEAUTIFULLY CAPTURES THE DAILY RHYTHMS OF AN ISRAELI SEPHARDIC COMMUNITY. EZRA SIMAN TOV HAS WORKED IN THE SAME LAUNDRY FOR 50 YEARS, CLEANING AND PRESSING PRAYER SHAWLS TO ADORN GROOMS AS THEY AWAIT THEIR BRIDES UNDER THE BRIDAL CANOPY. BUT EZRA IS ALSO A STORYTELLER. A PIOUS, SIMPLE MAN WHO IS GENERALLY CONTENT WITH HIS LOT IN LIFE, EZRA MUST CONTEND WITH THE GENTRIFICATION THAT THREATENS THE LAUNDRY AND WITH HIS BELOVED DAUGHTER'S DEFECTION TO CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES. HIS MEASURED RESPONSE CONVEYS A COMMUNITY'S TIMELESSNESS.
