Summary:
"Ophir was simply looking for valuable and meaningful national service. Nothing she learned at ulpanah prepared her for stealing a scroll from the National Library, for running away from the police or for dealing with demons and nocturnals, and if she only knew that there were people calling her a "witch" behind her back, she would surely be shocked from her root sandals to the ends of her hair. But at each stage of her journey from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea to Safed and back, Ophir is forced to improvise and re-enchant a route. And despite the dangers lurking around every corner, no policeman, pretty-eyed demon hunter, or ancient monster will prevent Ofir from achieving her goal: to save the world. Or at least try very hard not to destroy it. God willing. Harashta is the first book by Yehudit Kagan, a Jerusalemite who writes Jewish fantasy, one of the founders of the "Shaatnez: Creating a Fantastic Judaism" project. Her story "Canaan Blues" won the Einat Prize, and three of her stories were nominated for the Geffen Prize."-- adapted from back cover.
