I’ve just published my fourth book in four months. This one is different, because it didn’t begin as a book at all. It grew here on the Times of Israel.

Since October 7, I have posted a blog on the Times of Israel, including for the last year on the weekly Parsha – wrestling with the parsha, searching for the thread that ties ancient text to the week I was actually living. Without much intention, those posts accumulated into something larger: a full year of reflections, all 54 parshiot, gathered and shaped into a book you can hold. It has a foreword by Rabbi Doron Perez. It is called Living the Tension: Finding Beauty in a Complex World. If you’ve read me here, you already know whether it’s for you.

I won’t be doing book fairs, interviews, or signings. Illness has put the usual promotional machinery out of reach. So, this is it: the sum total of my marketing. An honest post, written for people who already choose to read what I write.

Some will wonder how four books........
