How often do you read a story that makes you
laugh out loud or wipe tears from your eyes? It's rare to find honest
writing that is powerful, moving, and inspirational, but words that
come from the heart enter the heart. From the voice of a man who
has struggled, hurt, and grown--and laughed with joy over the process--comes
The King of Shabbos and Other Stories of Return, a collection
of eighteen tales that will make you think and feel in a new and
different way.
Zalman Velvel is simply a storyteller. As you
read his tales, you will come to intimately know his characters,
some of whom you may recognize from your own life, and some of whom
may even remind you of yourself. You will grieve with them in their
sorrows, and feel joy as they experience spiritual awakening. And
regardless of your age, background, or circumstances, your life
will be the richer for having met them.
The inspirational theme that runs throughout
these tales, tying them together, is the idea of returning to simple
Jewish values and spiritual meaning in a world where values and
meanings get traded and lost. Many of Zalman's stories won awards
when they first appeared in publications around the world, but here,
for the first time, is a single volume of his most poignant work.
Truly, Zalman's characters and their stories will become a part
of you. They may even teach you a lesson or two about love, life,
and lasting meaning.
Enjoy, and L'chaim!
Zalman
Velvel has worked at a variety of jobs. He has driven taxis
in Manhattan, worked on Wall Street, and been a successful real
estate investor and auctioneer. But it was during his teenage years
that he discovered his passion for writing, which endures to this
day. He has written two novels and ten plays, with two of his plays--The
Unemployment Line and Honeymoon in Hell--being produced
off-Broadway. Most important, after rediscovering his religious
roots, Zalman wrote 100 short stories about Judaism and Israel.
Zalman now resides in Florida with his wife of thirty-five years
and their three married children and five grandchildren. Several
times each year, he visits his home in Israel.
