Ciao, ciao!

I don’t usually get to read such interesting books, since backed up on non-fiction books I HAVE to read, so I must admit I’m curious about this one, and would like to see if there is an Ebook version.

If I’m not mistaken –but correct me if I’m wrong, since I don’t know much about Judaism either– the name of the book, “Who by Fire” is taken from a Hebrew prayer on Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) a day to reflect and atone for wrongs done against Him, but to right wrongs against another **person** you MUST seek that person for forgiveness.

So even if the characters are afflicted with the train-wreck syndrome, it would be nice and uplifting if righting wrongs is an underlying theme…

Yes, the phrase “Who by Fire” comes directly from Judaism; righting wrongs as a theme? I’m not sure I’d say that exactly….
