"On page after page of this delightfully multivocal collection, lives and histories and dreams and fantasies collide--sometimes resolving, sometimes modulating to entirely unexpected keys. Judy Lev's Bethlehem Road is a chorus of wonders."

—Rachel Kadish, Author of The Weight of Ink

"These remarkable stories, breathtakingly generous and beautifully written, will absolutely break your heart."

—Eileen Pollack, Author of A Perfect Life

“It’s an understatement to say that Judy Lev’s Bethlehem Road captures the essence of life in modern Jerusalem. These stories not only embody the heart and soul of that life, but also the kishkes and the funny bone. A rare entertainment and a constant delight!”

—Steve Stern, Author of A Fool’s Kabbalah

“Sharp, invigorating stories, bristling with insight into the complicated world of immigrants to Jerusalem after the 1967 Six Day War. Judy Lev has a laser-like gift for zeroing in on the truth of her characters’ lives, whether that truth be harsh or funny or absurd. A stunning blend of emotional intensity, wit, and gimlet-eyed observation.”

—Joan Leegant, author of Displaced Persons: Stories
