As My Soul Speaks brings to life the miraculous journey of a young girl born into the tumultuous Jewish Quarter of Baghdad. She is mystically connected to the Divine Witness, a presence that observes and guides her and her people’s triumphs and tragedies.
Her cries to her God help set the stage for a story that spans decades and continents, tracing the turbulent history of her family and community.
From the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem and the Jews’ exile
to Babylonia in 586 BCE to the massacre of October 7, 2023, this book explores the light and dark aspects of our souls, offering Divine insight into many core questions and inviting the readers to reflect on their paths, the Divine connection in their lives, and the eternal quest for love and peace.
