Ari and The Dybbuk

Book Cover & Preview Text
`“Noooo…!” Ari screamed. It was no ordinary scream. It was like the howl of a wild beast. The boy’s small body shook and his heart pounded so hard he could barely catch his breath. He wiped the beads of sweat rolling off his forehead with the back of his hand. His legs shook uncontrollably and shivers ran up and down his spine. He pushed himself up in bed and forced his eyes to open. When the fog of sleep wore off, he looked around. Nothing seemed familiar. What am I doing here? Then he noticed the many unoccupied cots lined up alongside his. Oh, I remember now. We were sent to this camp when we arrived in Haifa. But why am I still shaking? Suddenly, it all came back. His horrible dream!

About the Book
When he emigrated from Russia to Israel, Ari had no idea that he was about to make history. What concerned him was a fear of the unknown, and what happens may haunt him forever. Based on historical facts, Ari’s adventures find him confronting bullies, an evil-possessed Nazi soldier, and warring neighbors. Ari tries to help each situation, but the Dybbuk (in Jewish folklore, a malevolent wandering spirit that enters and possesses the body of a living person until exorcized) finds its way into Ari’s mind. What follows becomes a conflict between good and evil. Who will prevail?
