About the Author
Shalom! I’m Serach bat Asher, a wife, mother, and grandmother deeply rooted in my convictions. While my Hebrew name is precious to me, the focus isn’t on who I am but on the story and its purpose.
In the midst of the chaos that surrounds us, my heart is burdened by the state of the world. This book, crafted with care and purpose, is an endeavor to impart timeless truths that transcend boundaries.
The journey of this narrative began with a different intent, but as the unsettling rise of antisemitism caught my attention, a shift occurred. It became clear that I needed to commit 100% to dispel fears surrounding the Jewish people.
This work is not exclusively for a particular audience; whether you identify as Jewish, Gentile, Grafted-in Hebrew, or Christian, my hope is that this story resonates with your family, fostering growth in shared values. As we approach Hanukkah 2023, the book will be available online for free. Instead of purchasing it, I encourage you to donate that money to aid those affected by the recent terrorist attacks on Israel. Todah Rabah (Thank you) for considering this act of solidarity.
May the timeless truths within these pages bring light to your heart and contribute to a world desperately in need of healing.
