Last week was the 15th anniversary of the disengagement from Gaza on the Hebrew calendar. In light of its relevance, I was honored to have the opportunity to speak to Jessica Steinberg of The Times of Israel and Rav Mike Feuer, host of the podcast The Jewish Story, about my new novel, Disengagement. Here’s an […]

Virtual Launch Party & Other Updates!
Hello there. I hope this finds you healthy and safe, wherever in the world you may be.

Disengagement Launches Today!
Dear Daniella’s subscribers, I am told it is a sacred tradition for the characters of a Daniella Levy novel to announce the release of their own book.

I’ll be giving a talk at the BMH Library on Shabbat afternoon, January 26th, at 3:40pm, on the Spanish Jews of the past and present and how I incorporated my research on this topic into By Light of Hidden Candles. Because it’s Shabbat, there will be no book-signing or Powerpoint or photos or videos […]
