A Hebrew novel by Einat Kapach: בסוף יום (At the End of the Day), her first book.
An elderly Yemenite rabbi sets out, near the end of his life, to reach his grown children, who have scattered in every direction and drifted away from him and from one another. Leaving his old library in the heart of Jerusalem, he must let go of what he held dear in order to bring his family back together. The journey runs from the caves of Yemen through the Machaneh Yehuda market to Tel Aviv and the desert, with Yom Kippur drawing near.
It is a story about forgiveness between parents and children, about expectations and disappointments, and the ability to reconcile and repair just before it is too late. Kapach is a Jerusalem filmmaker, director and screenwriter. 220 pages, 2022.
