Disengagement Interviews

August 3, 2020 by Daniella Levy Leave a Comment

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!

March 20, 2020 by Daniella Levy Leave a Comment

Hello there. I hope this finds you healthy and safe, wherever in the world you may be. Here in Israel we are more or less in lockdown, with all schools, non-essential businesses, and borders closed, and citizens ordered to stay at home. I have the enormous fortune of being able to work from home for […]

Disengagement Launches Today!

March 4, 2020 by Daniella Levy Leave a Comment

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 conducted my own research on the matter and discovered that this has only been done once. “Tradition” is therefore something of an exaggeration in this context. However, […]

From the Disengagement Archives

February 17, 2020 by Daniella Levy 1 Comment

All right, friends, the first order of business is that the paperback edition Disengagement is now available for pre-order from all the usual suspects: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Book Depository, etc. (I think my publisher is still working on the ebook situation, but hopefully it will be available for pre-order soon.) You will notice that […]

January 24, 2020 by Daniella Levy Leave a Comment

With only 26 days to launch, my upcoming novel Disengagement is (FINALLY) available for pre-order via my publisher, Kasva Press, and their new distributor, Casemate IPM! The search for a new distributor has caused a little chaos and explains why it’s taken so long to get the book up for pre-order. But for you, my […]

Hey Denver people, heads up! 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 […]

Genie Milgrom’s 15 Grandmothers & By Light of Hidden Candles

November 26, 2017 by Daniella Levy Leave a Comment

cover image of my 15 grandmothers by genie milgrom

I first learned about Genie Milgrom from a newspaper article that told her story and detailed her amazing accomplishments in genealogy. I was floored by the article, and when I was asked to write for Pnima Magazine (a popular Hebrew magazine for Israeli religious women), I suggested an interview with Genie. The editor gave me […]

Disengagement

In other times, they would never have met. They come from different corners of Israeli society, rooted in their own beliefs, busy with their own troubles. Farmers and fishermen, skeptics and believers, immigrants and natives, children and grandparents struggle with faith, loss, jealousy, hope—and the turmoil around them only deepens the rifts that divide them.
