Grandma, come get me from the airport: a story about empathy and religious acceptance
Two parallel worlds meet with Zila and her grandson Yitzchak – she an ultra-secular woman and he, the son of her daughter who married into a jewish Hasidic community.
He calls her from the airport. He's here, in Israel, alone. Why? What happened to her daughter? Zila is determined to find out, and to do her best to take care of a boy whose everyday customs are foreign to her.
But there is one big problem. The NOISE – the staring, the criticism, the things that people have to say when they see them together. Zila has dealt with it all her life, but can Yitzchak?
In this moving novella, a woman bravely struggles to shield a boy from people's lack of acceptance, while slowly revealing the dark past and her daughter's tragic but powerful story.
