Beginning with a fateful decision by Miriam, a strong-willed survivor on Masada's final, horrific day, the tale spans three generations of her descendants. This saga extends from the depths of her despair on a barren desert plateau to the glittering city of Alexandria where Miriam sought love and a future, and back to the Holy Land, where, amid the clashing cultures at Beit Guvrin, the storied city of Zippori and, finally, at the emerald oasis of Ein Gedi, the past continues to stalk her, threatening to devour her children. The Scroll is an adventure-rich voyage through the ancient customs and beliefs of Judaism and early Christianity and the challenges both faced in a hostile world. Readers are transported to the very roads and markets, palaces and hovels, synagogues and village squares of ancient Judea, where The Scroll's characters choose between nation and family, and finally, between life and death. Will Miriam's descendants learn the lessons of her life, or will enemies - within and without - rob those lessons from them? Although The Scroll deals with events that took place two millennia ago, it sheds light which helps make sense of the complexities of today's Israel and the choices its leaders make. About the Author Miriam Feinberg Vamosh was born in Trenton, NJ and has lived in Israel since 1970. Her love for the Bible and ancient texts deepened over many years working as a tour educator. Miriam's interest in the New Testament led her to weave together Jewish literary sources, traditions and beliefs with the origins of Christianity, and teach about them on-site throughout Israel. Miriam has published a number of books, including: Teach it to Your Children: How Kids Lived in Bible Days, Daily Life at the Time of Jesus, which has been translated into 32 languages, Food at the Time of the Bible, Women at the Time of the Bible, the award winning Reflections of God's Holy Land: a Personal Journey Through Israel and hundreds of articles about Israel's history, archaeology and tour sites. Miriam translates and edits the works of scholars and has worked for the Ha'aretz news desk for the past decade.
