Opis

Yehudit Berger has bought and sold cars for most of her adult life, and had never written a short story before, never mind a book, before she stared working on this one. "So why am I paining you, the reader, as well as myself, with my crummy penmanship?" she asks. The truth is, the urge to get her thoughts down on paper has persisted for many years, and she finally felt compelled to share her belief that the Messiah is here. We all possess gifts of foresight, premonition, and that sixth sense that is hard to explain, and maybe, under the right circumstances, our brains were designed to calculate such events as this. As Berger grew up under a communist regime that discounted God and religion and preached pragmatism, the visions she received foretold the future. While writing her book, she connected the dots to make sense of those premonitions, and also attempted to interpret those that caused her to wake up drenched and shaken as an adult. Will her insights come true? Who knows, but she hopes The Staff of Moses, which she compared with the 12th Imam, will keep readers absorbed and entertained as the dramatic tale begins in war-stricken Europe in the forties, proceeds to the United States, and culminates in the Israeli Negev. A group of Holocaust survivors find a piece of the staff of Moses in an antique car at an auction to discover it originated from Mount Sinai, and there, the future is revealed. A large portion of this story is plucked from history, the characters are real, and actual experiences are mixed with a blend of the author's imagination and hard facts. She exposes the ironies of the communist system, considers the intentions of the creator, and the message she strongly coveys is the Universal Law has always existed. However, it will be the masses, their convictions, ideals, and their governments that will have to meet the test this time around.
