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!

“A wildly fun, fantastical
Jewish Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”
— Laurie Gwen Shapiro, author of The Matzo Ball Heiress

“A rip-roaring read!
It’s Tom Clancy meets Cabala meets feminism.”
— Judith Z. Abrams, author of Talmud for Beginners (Less)
