An Obscure Apostle

In Szybow, gray houses crowd together as if frightened, while a moss-covered synagogue rises above the muddy market. How did this remote town become a holy place to Jews across Bialorus and Lithuania?

Far from the railways, in the fields and forests of nineteenth-century Bialorus, Szybow lives by the pull of two ancient families: the wealthy Ezofowichs and the revered, strictly orthodox Todroses. Hersh Ezofowich comes to challenge the old order with ideas of enlightenment and reform, but Rabbi Nohim and the town’s guardians of tradition will not yield easily. In a community where faith, family, and authority are bound fast together, even the call for change can shake more than one household. Can Hersh open a path forward without breaking the ties that hold Szybow together?
