Thank you! And by the way, thank you for having thrown that element into your stories; it's given me almost as much pleasure as the dragons. :) I'm Jewish, and an amateur scholar of my people's history. It's rare to find us in SF or fantasy books, and even more rare to find alternate-history versions of us (let alone those in which we came out on top!). I didn't completely catch on to what you were doing until the reference to sitting shiva in book 1 -- which was probably where you intended -- but I've been having fun trying to catch all the bits and pieces after that. I very nearly missed where the Synedrion came from, until I actually pronounced it in my head, and then broke out in random gleeful chuckles for the rest of the day!
You're more than welcome! It really pleased me to go that route, precisely because we see it so rarely.
