Course Description

A.B. Yehoshua, one of Israel’s towering literary figures, has written a novel set in Italy in the late 1990s, a departure from his usual Israel location. This masterfully understated work, centers around twelveyear-old, Rachel Luzzatto, who is preparing for her Bat Mitzvah during the Christmas season. A. B. Yehoshua paints a warm and subtle portrait of a young girl at the cusp of her journey into adulthood. We will discuss the issues that the plot provokes: intermarriage, family loyalties, coming of age, lingering war guilt, preserving Jewish life in an overwhelmingly Catholic environment, and antisemitism.
