Q & A with author of Cain V. Abel: A Jewish Courtroom Drama, Dan Ornstein
1. Why did you write this book? I wrote this book because I firmly believe that the Cain and Abel story has indispensable moral messages for our violence and hatred plagued planet. It is a foundational story of the human experience, and I wanted to convey its power to a modern audience. 2. How […]
