Hi Lisa, I’m a Jewish Orthodox author. I’m mainly interested in Jewish history, so my books may not be what you’re looking for. But If you’d like to check out my novels, here are the links on Amazon:
Terra Incognita (a novel about the modern-day descendants of Spain’s crypto-Jews): https://www.amazon.com/Terra-Incognita-Libi-Astaire-ebook/dp/B0056JJSCQ The Banished Heart (a novel about Shakespeare’s writing of The Merchant of Venice): https://www.amazon.com/Banished-Heart-Libi-Astaire-ebook/dp/B009FMQ0QC/ I’m also the author of the Jewish Regency Mystery Series, set in Regency London: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MA3IF2Z/ Hatzlacha, Libi Astaire Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Lisa Silverman via Hasafran Sent: Tuesday, November 6, 2018 3:08 PM To: hasaf...@lists.service.ohio-state.edu Subject: [ha-Safran] need help with a high school class Greetings Safranim, Yikes--A high school senior class in coming in here tomorrow with some specific requests. We have to field 15 of these types of questions and I would love to hear from any of you who can lead me to any NOVELS or MEMOIRS that we can offer to them in regard to these questions: 1. I am looking for 2-4 fiction books that are written by an Israeli who experienced the 1948 war that I can use to compare with another book from after the 1967 war because I want to write about the way Israeli war victories impact Israeli literature 2. I am looking for 2-4 fiction books that are written by an Jewish orthodox author, that I can compare with another book from a secular Jewish author because I want to write about modern 21st century literature written by religious Jews vs. that of secular Jews. I would define religious Jews as those who identify as observant and look at Judaism as a religion. I would define secular Jews as those who identify as Jewish but only as a nationality. 3. How did Jews in the different time periods of 19th Century Europe, World War II and modern day America use literature as a way to deal with anti-semitism? 4. How did Religious and Secular Jews differ in their views of Israel from the time it was established and the next 20-30 years? How do Jewish authors display their views on a Jewish Homeland through their literature? What did Israel represent to each group, as seen through their literature?
