Jerusalem - Paperback

by Ernest Hunt (Author)

Joseph B. Ashur, a young idealistic Jewish lawyer in Manhattan feels so badly about the terrible October 7th invasion of Israel by Hammas, that he believes he should travel to Jerusalem to be of some kind of assistance, perhaps filling in as a lawyer for a person there called up to fight in the Israeli Reserves. He tries to persuade his lawyer girlfriend Sarah to join him but she claims she has too many New York City law cases. After wrestling with his parents to accept his decision, he prepares to leave for Israel and meets another lady at the JFK airport named Deliah, who he believes at first to be a true patriot. Unfortunately, after their intimacy she likens him to be her Samson, and in his mind she betrays him. Through the advice of a relative, he meets another young female lawyer, an American in Jerusalem named Naomi, who is honest with him and helps him in a Hebrew law firm, taking the place of a man who has been called up to fight. He meets her family and the two with the help of her father and mother prepare to be married amidst the terrible ongoing war, a blessing in the midst of horrible combat.
