Eshet Harav, Eshet Habishoph (The Rabbi's Wife, The Bishop's Wife) [Hebrew]

By Chayuta Deutsch and David Jacobson

This book follows the story of a woman who married a young man who became the lead rabbi of a town in Medieval Spain, and who later converted to Christianity following the 1391 anti-Jewish violence events, took their kids with him, and later became the bishop of that same town. The book also follows the person who decides to discover everything she can about this woman, who at the time -- just before Covid started -- was just a footnote, and her collaboration with a Spanish history professor during a time of closures and isolation, and her life with taking care of an aging mother and a recently-diagnosed Alzheimer's husband. [320 pp.]
