"A wildly-fun fantastical Jewish Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe."
Laurie Gwen Shapiro, author of The Matzo Ball Heiress
"A rip roaring read! It's Tom Clancy meets Chabad meets feminism. I loved it."
Judith Abrams, author of Talmud for Beginners
When the Master Cabalist of Brooklyn dies without an heir, it seems as if an age-old plot to bring the Messiah has failed.
But appearances can be deceiving.
Twenty years later, Nechama Gutkind leaves her cloistered home, determined to save the world even if it kills her. For assistance, she turns to the Master’s closest friend, 130-year-old Rabbi Lionel Abulafia. The last scion of a mystical dynasty, Abulafia has collected ancestral legend, mystical inspiration and wild speculation to create The Cabalist’s Handbook of Practical Messianic Redemption.
Nechama’s exploits attract followers and enemies from high and low. Firefights, helicopter battles and strange visions are only the beginning—because if the old rabbi is right, all Heaven is about to break loose!

“Laugh out-loud funny. Complex and interesting plot. it was a great pleasure to finally read a novel featuring a Jewish theological approach to the apocalypse... for sheer fun and weirdness, The Cabalist's Daughter excels”
The Jewish Reporter
"The most clever action-packed Jewish novel ever written. Yori maintains a
pace of action in this book that can rival that of any of the best
screenwriters in Hollywood today."
