Yom Kippur in Amsterdam
by Maxim D Shrayer
“Throughout “Yom Kippur in Amsterdam,” Maxim D. Shrayer gives a modern Jewish twist to Shakespeare’s dictum, “To thine own self be true.” This recently published collection of short stories depicts the romantic struggles of Jewish-American immigrants from the former Soviet Union in terms of identity and intermarriage. Yet the book avoids polemics. Instead, it beckons the reader to conversation like an open café.”- The Jewish Advocate –The Jewish Advocate
