Jewish Stories

Seventeen-year-old Aviva Osherov, the daughter of a poor rabbi in Chernigov, has never fit the life chosen for her. She is expected to marry young, obey without question, and accept a future she does not want. But Aviva hungers for things forbidden to a girl of her world- to study Torah, to choose her own path, and to dream beyond the Pale of Settlement. Rumors of pogroms sweep through nearby towns, casting fear over her community like a shadow that refuses to lift. And when Aviva crosses paths with Nikolai, a quiet Orthodox Christian boy who sees her humanity instead of her religion, everything becomes more dangerous. He saves her once. She trusts him once. And suddenly the one person she should fear becomes the one she cannot let go of. Their forbidden bond risks her father's honor, her sister's future, and the safety of their entire household. Whispers turn to threats. Threats turn to violence. And when the pogrom finally reaches Chernigov, Aviva must face an impossible choice: Stay with the boy who taught her what freedom feels like... or flee to America to save the only family she has left. A story of courage, forbidden love, and a girl who refuses to be silent beneath a darkening sky.

*COMPLETED* "Liesel, what's the matter?" Max's concern was that of a mother's, so flat, but so serious. "Max, there is no one to thank left." Liesel changed her view to peer at the dusty floor.

But something stirs in Russia: Communism. How will a Jew and innocent German girl make it safely in this ever-changing world that is right out their door? NOTE: This is after The Book Thief story (sequel if you will), so there are some spoilers if you haven't seen/read anything about it. However, if you don't care about the movie/book/spoilers, then it still makes for an eye opening, post-WWII fan fiction. Personally, I feel this is my best piece of writing I've ever shared on Wattpad. I hope everyone enjoys! NOTE: I DO NOT own any of the characters or the cover picture!

|||2021 WATTYS SHORTLIST||| Not everyone's high school experience involves hot romance, parties and big plans for the future. Some kids are shy. Some kids are socially awkward. Some kids have heavy burdens placed on them by their families or their religions. This is the tale of two of those kids. In her senior year, Sabrina Himmelschein feels like she has no privacy and no life of her own. She lives in one of San Francisco's iconic Postcard Row houses, in an Orthodox Jewish family with high standards and expectations. At a speech tournament she meets Neil Cannon, who lives up north among the vineyards of Sonoma County, where his parents happily work in the wine industry, despite being teetotaling Mormons. They form a bond, but reluctantly break it; the religious and cultural gulfs between them are too wide to bridge. Four years later, their dreams of changing the world reduced to retail jobs selling socks and cologne, they unexpectedly meet again. After the families and faiths they've depended on their whole lives have let them down in a dramatic way, Neil and Sabrina struggle with an important question: should they feel guilty about being happy to be back together?

In this surrealist modern folktale, a young, haunted concentration camp survivor Gershom runs away to Lapland to live in total isolation, which drives him to built and burn an effigy of a dead boy he encountered during his time of imprisonment. Whilst aiming to destroy the wooden effigy, it instead comes to life with the instincts of a human baby, which Gershom then takes under his wing, and christens it Pinnocha, who spiritually grows into a German speaking, innocent, happy little boy. Though in a land where old tradition and the dawn of the thermo-nuclear age clash, Pinnocha discovers the world is not kind to little wooden people, nor to all people.
