Jewish Fiction.net is delighted to announce its Twelfth Issue!

Welcome to this fabulous Chanukah issue of Jewish Fiction .net! In honour of the holiday we bring you a story about Judith, because in the Middle Ages the Chanukah heroes we celebrated were not only the Maccabees, but also Judith, who saved the Israelites through her bravery.

In addition, you’ll find here 15 first-rate works of fiction (originally written in Polish, French, Hebrew, and English), and set in China, Germany, Scotland, Poland, ancient Israel, modern Israel, the United States, and on an emigrants’ boat bound for the United States. Sixteen terrific stories for your pleasure! For more details, see our preface.

We hope you enjoy these stories. Please feel free to share them with friends and family and to follow us on facebook and twitter.

Wishing you and those you love a Happy Chanukah and a holiday filled with light. Chag urim sameach! from all of us at
