Promise Me Jerusalem: A Novel

Duvid and Chaya Davidovitz are a proud Jerusalemite couple, raising their large brood in the traditions of old. Now their oldest daughter, Malka’la, is of marriageable age, and they don’t have any means of providing for her – not a wedding, not a trousseau, not a dirah. Both Duvid and Chaya want the coveted shidduch to happen, even if it means going out on unfamiliar paths in a quest to provide for her. But how far can they stretch themselves for Malka’la before tragedy strikes their home? And where can they turn for help when their entire world seems to be disintegrating around them? Talented author Chany Rosengarten has woven a tale of Jerusalemites of the recent past, when families struggled to put bread on the table and children grew up before their parents’ plans for the future had a chance to unfold. In a story spanning decades and continents, Duvid, Chaya, and Malka’la struggle with the trials of facing the unknown and conquering their fears, as they hold on fervently to the promise of Jerusalem.Read more
