A remarkable book for young adult Jewish readers

Written by Kenneth Roseman, a rabbi with a Ph.D. in American Jewish History, Jeremiah's Promise: An Adventure In Modern Israel is a remarkable book for young adult Jewish readers. It presents Jewish history in a format that allows young people to direct their own adventure. Putting the reader in the role of a Polish Jew who has survived the horrors of the Nazi reign, Jeremiah's Promise presents the reader with a choice for the future; the decision the reader makes prompts him or her to turn to a given page and read the outcome of the decision, and then make another choice, repeating the process until reaching one of the multiple endings. Different readers will enjoy very different adventures, all centering upon the theme of the journey to Israel, coming to a better understanding of the Jewish faith, and adjusting to the new surroundings of life in Palestine. An engaging, entertaining, and informative book recommended for readers of all ages.
