"The Chassidic Trauma Unit" now available!

"The Chassidic Trauma Unit" by Abraham Boyarsky is now available!

“Through this fast-paced novel, replete with kidnappings, espionage and fugitive war criminals, Abraham Boyarsky captures the Chassidic communities, their lives and their voices.”

Sender Pleskin is a self-proclaimed trauma specialist dedicated to serving his Chassidic community and to ‘gently’ nudging it into modernity.

When a Bubmer Hasid child falls inexplicably into a coma, Sender and his team jump to action. Hunting down leads in his investigation, Sender follows the signs that he interprets to be divine providence as they lead them down a circuitous path that will test not only his faith, but all he was and is.

Then again, these are all love poems: poems that love by giving attention, by being sensitive and generous to their subjects.

In his "Adorations" — numbered poems addressed by…
