Roll Of The Dice

Sunday, 14 march 1948 The small blue Ford pickup turned pulled up with its engine running across the ticket line of a movie house in Tel-Aviv. Two men wearing khaki sweaters and wool caps with a barely discernible embroidered Star of David and Sten guns slung over their shoulders pulled Michael out of the line and rushed him onto the back of the pickup. It took off as soon as he was hoisted aboard and the two men jumped in after them. From beginning to end, the incident took less than a minute. This abduction brought Michael into the Israeli Defense Forces and an isolated village of religious Bessarabian pioneers in Arab territory. A romance develops amid an existential battle for survival, between Michael, a non-observing refugee of Nazi Germany, and Rivka, the dark-eyed daughter of the village parents, both striving to free themselves from the respective cultures of their forbearers.
