The Song of Hadariah and Passover Prep

4/10/2017

0 Comments

 
So, I have a book launching tomorrow, and it's also the first day of Passover. Needless to say, my mind is a jumble of prep work and wondering how my baby is going to be received by the world. Tuesday happens to be the second night of Passover (due to our following a lunar calendar) and we are hosting the seder that night at our house. This means that while I'm anxiously awaiting my book's debut, my kitchen is a half-formed mess of Passover brisket, hard boiled eggs, soup, sauces, half done pies, and the non-Passover food corner that is being used to feed the kids.

36 eggs. So many eggs...

Fingers crossed this turns out (I'm gonna need that bottle for me before we're done here...)
With regards to this particular book, part of my nervousness has to do with the fact that this is probably one of the most personal pieces I've written. It was formerly published under the title The Strings of the Violin, but it's found a new home at Pandamoon Publishing and I couldn't be happier with what I've been able to do with it here. Now called The Song of Hadariah, we have added a new Prologue, added more Yiddish and Hebrew, a new glossary, and each book in this trilogy will also be telling my bubbie's story.

She's so happy here! And look at my mom! She was so cute!
This is what I always wanted this book to be, and now I have the chance to tell the story my way, and I am so excited about it. To have this particular book come out on the first day of Passover, a holiday where we are celebrating our freedom feels more than fitting, and while I know that this also means that my ability to push it the way I want to tomorrow will be extremely limited, it all feels besheret in it's own way. 

I hope I did my bubbie proud in telling this story. Everything in it came from her, her life, her fairy tales, and the focus on strong girls united in friendship. This is a tale of Jewish folklore, myth, and magic, and it is truly for her.

So, while I can't really push things tomorrow, I can say today that The Song of Hadariah: Book one of The Dybbuk Scrolls ​is now available for preorder as an ebook on Amazon. Check it out!
