With the Ninth of Av coming up (I am posting this on Tammuz 18 having read on Tammuz 17), I felt this was a good time to read it. I should have read this sooner (ie not during the three weeks of Mourning!) It's a choose your own adventure book! Who doesn't love a choose your own adventure book?
This is a wonderful book for children of all ages (including *ahem* those children who have children as well). So many endings for what could have happened whether one stays in Jerusalem or leaves after the Temple is destroyed. So many options and endings! Some involve changing a religion, others involve meeting great rabbis and having students, and I believe one was being put to death (hey it happens). I know what I am going to read again soon!
