An excerpt from the novel appears on the back of the book, as Itamar Levy explains: "One of the most important and neglected parts of the book is the back cover... I have been approached again and again by the publishers who published my books, asking me to write a few words about the book and myself. I have refused every time. In almost all of my books, on the back of the book you can find an excerpt from the novel. This is, in my opinion, the right solution. If you liked what was written, if you were intrigued, you will want to continue into it as well."

A children's book for adults. The playful charm and visual and verbal surprises overflow, but it is a trap of temptations. It captures the reader to tell about multiple myeloma. The unfolding of the body and the change of language with the disease, memory and forgetting, healing and pain – but at the same time lingers on grotesque and intimate moments.

A comedic drama about a family that begins to fall apart following an event that seems minor, but creates a chain of crises that reveal family tensions and secrets.

A Dharma novel that reveals the unconventional fabric of the lives of Martha and Imra, a pair of Israeli teachers, robeless monks, who meditate and teach Buddhism in a small community in London. The path unfolds before the reader not as a theory but as a poem in two completely different voices, which blend together in surprising harmony.

The story of the first forest garden in Israel, founded and led by Ron Meltzer, an educational leader and entrepreneur, together with partners along the way. The story of the garden established in Mitzpe Ramon is combined with the story of Ron's life - about his crises and his resurrections, his insights and his lessons. Ron documented and wrote this story over about seven years of joint narrative-research dialogue with Dr. Gadi Bialik, who also conducted the scientific study.

This is not a book of poetry. There is a man in it who stays awake at night. A foreign city is being built and is going around him. He smokes. He raises children. He doesn't forget the child he himself was. He must understand his math homework. He must join the scouts. He tells a little about himself in his own words. Maybe one good, clear, and lucid sentence will stop it.

An extraordinary book, written in the first person, by a father who describes with courage and humor the complex daily life of a family with autistic children, from the diagnosis, through the stages of coping, to the continuous effort to maintain a stable and functioning family framework, despite the difficulties.

Virginia Woolf wrote the book in August 1940 during the Battle of Britain for the American monthly magazine The New Republic. A year after her death on March 28, 1941, her writings were collected and the essay was published in the collection Death of the Moth. Woolf, who continued to engage with the connection between pacifism and women's rights during World War II, seeks to document the flickers of feminist consciousness in the darkness.

At the lowest point in his life, lonely and confused, Oren – a former teacher and current counselor – joins an ambitious project, aimed at creating trust and connection with children lost in the public education system. Just before Safi, a wild and sensitive child struggling for his place in the world, is thrown out of school, the two embark on an unexpected journey across the country that will change their lives.

In his debut book, in an enchanted text, Ohad Fishoff creates a dream that takes place in a small town, with its many characters - the warrior of the past, the man who walks and reads, the horizontal woman, the pack, the snake and others. The story gradually unfolds to include additional events that take place in a kind of continuous present, in an ever-expanding universe, saturated with signs and symbols.
