Description

The Lost Torah of ShanghaiLily Kovner's first reaction to the news that a precious Torah has gone missing from the home of a Chinese government official in Shanghai is disbelief. She scoffs at her nickname, "the Jewish Miss Marple," and rejects the prospect that she could be instrumental in recovering the Torah. Yet, Lily's devotion to her newfound Chinese Jewish cousin, Ruth, trumps her skepticism. Along with her significant other, Simon, and Ruth, Lily undertakes another

Lily Kovner's first reaction to the news that a precious Torah has gone missing from the home of a Chinese government official in Shanghai is disbelief. She scoffs at her nickname, "the Jewish Miss Marple," and rejects the prospect that she could be instrumental in recovering the Torah. Yet, Lily's devotion to her newfound Chinese-Jewish cousin, Ruth, trumps her skepticism. Along with her significant other, Simon, and Ruth, Lily undertakes another improbable quest plagued by threats, dangerous physical attack, and a likely murder. Ultimately, political intrigue stemming from China's strife-ridden pre-Communist era, as well as long-buried resentments of an ancient community, emerge as motives that led to the Torah's theft, point to its perpetrators, and ultimately reveal a unique and little-known aspect of vibrant Jewish communal life that survived and thrived throughout a multi-century diaspora that stretched from Iraq to India to China.

Best hand cream for extreme rough hands
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
My husband struggles with really rough hands and it's the best thing we've found. It does have a bit of a medicinal smell, but well worth it for the relief! Highly recommend.

Smells like a disinfectant
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been struggling with eczema terribly this winter, scratching to the point of bruising. Nothing seems to help so I figured I’d give this a try. I will say that it does provide instant relief, but it is short lived and not worth the scent. It smells terrible and reminds me of old fashion Pine Sol. I think there are better products out there. I wouldn’t buy this again.
