Who are "The 36"?
Join the journey of mystery and mysticism in the Holy Land...
the answers to the present lay hidden in the past.
Written in “The Da Vinci Code” style, where Judaism, Israel and archeology replace Christianity, Paris and art.
-
Jerusalem 70-73 CE… the city falls to the Romans while the last rebels escape to Masada for the final stand.
-
Jerusalem 2010… a prominent religious figure is abducted by a shadowy group.

Two stories that merge into one…
Adir, an Israeli Antiquities Authority law enforcement agent is tasked to locate an abducted prominent rabbi. Events quickly spiral out of control as the ex-IDF commando confronts scenarios not covered in any training manual.
Together with his estranged Hassidic brother, Yitzchak, they race through Israel's holiest cities and sites, following a trail of riddles. Facing spiritual challenges and physical obstacles, their movements are hindered by an elusive secret society - “The 36.” As their time runs out, the brothers’ fortitude, and their relationship, are pushed to the limits.
As Adir searches for answers, his mission develops into a quest: a quest to find a missing person, a quest to reforge a bond with his twin, a quest to locate the lost 2000-year-old Temple artifacts… and a quest to find himself.

A quest connecting ancient and modern Israel. If you love a great mystery, historical settings in Israel, mystical sources and ancient codes, then you, like me, will love this book!

Josh is a master whether guiding on his feet or writing with his pen.
Reading this will enrich anyone who has been to Israel and will entice anyone who hasn't been yet.
