In these pages we will meet some of the most compelling figures in Jewish history: Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakai, leader of the generation; zealous revolutionaries, convinced of the virtue of their cause; and Roman rulers whose ambition and cruelty threaten to destroy our people and our Temple.

Rich in details and rooted in Chazal (our Sages) and authentic historical sources, Storm Tossed transforms distant history into a living, breathing reality. Through the lives of one family, the reader experiences the hopes, fears, and fateful choices of a generation standing on the brink of catastrophe.
