In the early 19th century, the man called "The Angel of Death" is feared by those who harm his people. His form of justice is swift and brutal, designed to terrify and to forestall acts of oppression against the Jews of Bohemia. To his devoted followers who join him in his secret group called Nokmim, the Revengers, he is called "Nagid," or the prince. Only a few people ever have seen the real person behind the fierce glare and the brutal vengance he metes out. In this latest Tale from the Judah Halevi Journals, the feared Ezekiel Benzion is revealed as he is known to those closest to him: as a devoted father, a loving husband, a loyal son and a dear brother. He is a man yearns for the day he can lay down his weapons to live free from oppression in peace and dignity. Until that day, however, he is willing to do whatever is needed to keep his family and his people safe. In his own words, "I never regret justice done. I am haunted only by justice not yet delivered." Then one day, he is ordered to perform a Biblical act of sacrifice with his own hands to save his community. On that day he becomes an outcast by the very rules he lives by, a man tormented by the terrible deed he performs. It is left to men outside his community who face a different form of oppression to help him discover a pathway back through acts of loving kindness.

Loving Sons and Brothers (The Judah Halevi Journals) (Volume 5), by Ezekiel Nieto Benzion About the Author All his life, Ezekiel Nieto Benzion (born in NYC in 1954) has been an avid listener--highly prized by the talented storytellers in his family who often vied among themselves for an audience to hear their tales. His favorite memories were the hours spent with his grandparents--all immigrants from Eastern Europe--who told wonderful tales about their adventures in the old country and in the new one while "kibitzing" over endless games of gin rummy or pinochle or while drinking many "glasses" of tea. As the stories reached their climaxes, the narrator often switched to Yiddish, to spare the tender ears of "das Kind"--the child. Everyone would roar with laughter or shake their heads in sympathy at the end of the tale, leaving young Ezekiel desperate to learn the language to understand their secrets. So, in college, he switched his major from mathematics to foreign languages--specializing in the languages of the Jewish diaspora--Yiddish, Ladino, Arabic and Hebrew. Eventually his grandfather gave him his most prized possession--the 200 year old journals written by a distant forebear, Judah Halevi. Throughout the journals, Ezekiel found codes and puzzles leading him on new paths of research to uncover the truth of the mysterious doctor's life. What he learned forms the structure of the tales in the series from "The Judah Halevi Journals." In writing the books, Ezekiel proudly follows his family's tradition--telling the stories of the old country to a new generation.

Ezekiel Benzion is a gifted writer and storyteller. I took my time to write this review because I beleive a review to be important both to impart to my fellow reader the quality of a book's writingt and its message and for Benzions books, that responsibility is so much more. Ezekiel tells us stories about our past, our past as Jews, that for most if not all of us here in the 21st century is all but unknown. It is the story of the Nokmim. The Avengers. And every time you read or hear or see a meme about how the Jews went quietly off to the ovens of the Holocaust without a question and you know that is untrue, you knpow you would have fought, you know the world and the society has stakced the deck against the truth, and you looked for what really happened, you were searching for the stories you will find here.The title of this book leads you to its stories...Loving Sons, have mothers and fathers. Loving Brothers, have sisters and families. And families have secrets and powers between them. And we look at yet a nother demon we see in and amongst our Jewish life, the spector of mental illness. It appears in the characters in addicition, bipolar, self injurious behavior, alcoholism, psychosis, With great minds come these problems. We see them dealt with, or not. We see them hidden, we see them treated, we see them in recovery and we seem them handled as they are even to this day -- day by day by sometimes painful day.This is a book that must be read in the continuity of the other books. The characters are complex and I have seen from the responses of other reviewers and those on Facebook discussing this book that some have taken individual characters to heart and reflect upon the reality of recovery, the reality of it, the fact of certain characters being "better" or "truer" and I must pòint out athat as a person who themselves is a Jew with issues of mental disorder --again with great minds, and great depth ...depression, the spector of trauma always remains as a demon ... Benzion in my estimation, experience and knowledge (and my knowledge at 53 years is quite well read) is exact and correct. Remember that amog the fiction, it appears that the most amazing actions and experiences what would appear the most fictitious are in fact the parts of the novel that are the parts that are non-fiction.Read these books. Share these books. These are for all of society. For Jews, for Chaverim, for those in the LGBT community, for those in the disabled community, and most of all for the Goyim ---those of other nations who desparately need to understand us and who we are and from where we come. And why we continue to exist and why we apparently need to fight to continue to have the right to exist even to today.And that is the most important lesson.As a Jew, and a person who fights a disability of the mind - we fight for the right to exist in peace of life and mind every day. And the days that are good we celebrate and thank Hashem, G-d. And the bad days we thank Hashem for the opportunity to live and fight to make it to the days of peace. For where there is Life there is Hope. There is more to the sotry, to all of our stories because we still exist.That, my friendsis the point.

One of Ezekiel Benzion's greatest strengths is his character driven novels By Amazon Customer One of Ezekiel Benzion's greatest strengths is his character driven novels.You care very much about his characters.The second is his writing ability which is truly wonderful.Last is his deft handling of Jews and homosexuals and the parallels of both.groups at this time in history, the early 19th century.We get to know a very deep and troubled person in Ezekiel Benzion a man thst seemed stubborn, inflexible and self righteous in the books before this one.However it was his wonderful handling of Cat the had me read this book book in five and half hours.Cat is a terribly convicted young male courtesan that really drives this book a young man struggling to find ego he is accept himself and make choices about a future he can only question.Really Cat a young man has the most strength spirit and resiliance of all. He drives this book in that wll of the other characters grow and develop themselves in relating to him.What this means is that without reading the two books before this an understanding of him isn't possible.I had really eagerly awaited this book because of wanting to know what happened to the main protagonist a Judah Halevi beacuse the end oof the last book had me angry. Judah Halevi had been buiilt as an increasingly tragic, troubled and very flawed man suffering from Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and alcohol addiction imploding into insanity at the end of the last book.His recovery was rapid and too easy to be honest. Good friends, change in scenery and the move of a good woman and voila. So I went from brunt deeply invested in Judah to literally muttering "Enough about Judah and his fairy tale recovery already!"I cared about Cat and the Rav a blind Rabbi that raised the "Angel of death" death and a Man named Dieter that is wounded grieviously half way into the book.Cat nakes this book shine and is the foil for the deep changes of those around him.I'm finding it hard to relate why i loved this book to be vry honest because there was too much of several thingsToo many charcters, too much analysis of motivations. To much telling.The Cat was the foil where I was shown much and given more without this fellow nothing would have worked for me.The scene thst probably should have been far more central the mission to bring justice for a young man who was killed by his brother to avoid many deaths. Was handled in such a. Way that it didn't engine me emotinally at all right up to and including a battle, battle a torture scene a heroic sacrifice of a man saving the life of his new love. Some how there was no engagement for me. I put my book down at the end of those scenes as I wondered what could be wrong with me that I could have fmread these scenes not feeling engaged. One would expect to cringe or feel horrified reading a scene where people are being grievously mangled.I'll read the next book simply because the "taste" of the next book in the series tells me that Ill be reading again about Cat.About Judah, Ezekiel and the rest my interest is oddly mild.

Scribner I pre-ordered the book with great anticipation and then I delayed and delayed the reading until I had a block of quiet time to read this 5th volume of the series. Each book requires a careful reading - and rereading - to catch the nuances and to think about the developments. I also admit that I wanted time to savor the book with the greatest fear that this was the last in the series.This was not what I expected and yet it was so much more than I expected. There was a huge enlargement of the characters - especially Ezekiel and Judah - in many unexpected ways. Yet there was also thoughtful tying together of the strings in the other books that I had missed. It is quite clear that he made this characters just as uncomfortable as he will make some readers, but READ THE BOOK AND LEARN! WOWEzekiel Nieto Benzion is a wonderful writer. I can't tell you how excited I was to see that there will be a volume 6 because I do not want these characters - my family - to disappear.I read with great interest the review of the person who was very angry at the end of the book. I agree that it is highly unlikely that someone like Judah with severe PTSD and self-destructive behavior could have recovered so quickly - even in the bosom of his new family. Moreover, I was quite fearful of Judah's state of mind after his recall to duty, and very surprised at how quickly he recovered. However, even with this bit of magical realism added, this still makes for a very powerful story and I suspect that a lot of the recovery time may had ended up on the cutting room floor in that unexpected final edit that was required just before it was originally to be published.
