1930’ernes København. Hannah vokser op som den yngste af fem børn i den jødiske emigrantfamilie Koppelman. Hun drømmer om at blive musiker ligesom sine brødre, og da hun bliver optaget på konservatoriet og forelsker sig i den unge idealist Aksel, er friheden og lykken inden for rækkevidde.

Men i det jødiske miljø betyder slægten og traditionerne alt, og til den viljestærke mor Bruches sorg forkaster Hannahs brødre de kvinder, ægteskabsmægleren finder til dem. En efter en gifter de sig med danske kvinder, og mor Bruche og far Yitzhak bliver forvist til de bagerste rækker i synagogen.

When a black hole suddenly consumes Israel and as similar anomalies spread across the globe, a conspiracy takes hold: will the holes swallow the Jews, or will they swallow the earth? Against a backdrop of antisemitic paranoia, restrictions on Jewish life, and spasms of violence, Ethan and Ella, Jewish citizens of a nameless American city, meet and fall in love. Ella, a photojournalist, documents the changes in daily life, particularly among the city’s Jewish residents.

Entre les grands idéaux humanitaires qui l'animent et les obsessions inavouables qui le hantent, Alex Portnoy, trente-trois ans, est la proie d'un insoluble conflit. Élevé dans le quartier israélite de Newark, par des parents abusifs, démesurément attachés aux principes de la tradition juive-américaine, ligoté par des tabous et des interdits, submergé de conseils et d'exhortations, il est écrasé par une culpabilité d'autant plus angoissante que la sexualité et ses déviations les plus extrêmes ne cessent de l'obnubiler.

Forse non sarebbe successo niente se non fossero stati nel cuore dell'estate, con un mese e mezzo di noia umida alle spalle e un altro mese e mezzo davanti. In casa non c'è aria condizionata e quest'anno - l'estate del 1969 - sembra che stia succedendo qualcosa a tutti tranne che a loro, i fratelli Gold. Mentre gli altri si sballano a Woodstock, New York non offre loro altro che un incontro con una veggente che, si dice nel quartiere, sarebbe in grado di predire la data di morte. I quattro ragazzi ci vanno, per gioco, per vestirsi di paura, per fare la rivoluzione a modo loro.

Israelis and Palestinians cooperate to make a difficult situation worse. Good people, doing bad things for the best of reasons. A complex murder investigation of a complicated set of murders starts when an Arab collaborator's body is found by a collapsed wall in the new Israeli settlement of Oranit. His death is hushed up and the body burned by the Palestinian villagers who hated him.

Zack Gurevitz has had a checkered past. A Yeshiva boy, turned Green Beret, turned junkie, excommunicated by his one-time faith and now the potential savior of people he doesn’t even like. As a white supremacist movement stealthily takes the reins of power in America, it is again the Jews who are made out as scapegoats. Stripped of wealth and citizenship, they are made to live in 21st-century ghettos that hark back to a sinister and murky past that many had thought would never return.

A sweet story about a very special relationship between a boy and a very unusual friend....
