Sommario/riassunto |
|
Student Wendy Goldberg spends a year in Jerusalem questioning the lives of American Jews who "return" both to Israel itself and to traditional religious practices. Are they sincere? Are they happier? The unexpected answers and her experiences (a bus bombing, a funeral, an unexpected suicide, a love affair, a law suit),lead her to reconsider her own true identity. |
