The Hebrew Teacher

In three poignant novellas, acclaimed Israeli author Maya Arad explores the lives of three women whose experiences of immigration to the United States lead them to confront personal and familial crises. Ilana, a dedicated Hebrew instructor, faces challenges to her work from a new colleague's radical views; Miriam uncovers unsettling truths during an unexpected family visit; and Efrat navigates the complexities of her daughter's social media life while trying to protect her. With a blend of irony and sensitivity, Arad delves into themes of idealism and the generational gaps that shape each woman's journey.
