The Rebbe told Mottel to find a bride and to get married.  It becomes a journey of suspense, international intrigue, and danger. 

Mottel said, " There has to be an easier way to find a wife."

Mottel becomes engaged in a joke. Pun intended.

Good surprise ending, at least I think so.

A story from The Storyteller series by Nissan Mindel inspires this historical fiction.

Rabbi Lehmann was successful in Mainz, getting official recognition in 1877

A fictional Chanuka story that takes place right before the start of the American Revolutionary War. Except for the ficticious Jewish Mendez family, Jonas, Silas, Jasper and Casper, all the other characters are real. The theme of the story is the historical Jewish impact on Western Civilizatiion.

The Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation. If I were an atheist, and believed blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations.

John Adams

What if the 2 latterns to warn the colonial militias of the British raid on Lexington and Concord were never given? 

The exciting conclusion of One by land two by sea.

General Gage failed, was replaced by another general, and returned to England in disgrace.

Dr Joseph Warren died 2 months later, June 17th, during the Battle of Bunker Hill. He was 34.

Dmitry found favor in the eyes of the feared and dreaded Czar Nicholas I. He was brave, well-liked, and most importantly, a quick-witted thinker.

He was being trained in the Czar's most secret elite service. The Czar was ready to promote Dmitry, but something was discovered in the files that was going to change everything for everyone.

Military service was made compulsory for Jews in Russia in 1827, the age for the draft being established as between 12 and 25 years. Some were as young as 8. The objective of the Russian authorities was to alienate the cantonist children from their own people and religion.

I used information for this story from the book The Cantonists: The Jewish Children's Army of the Tsar

Dave was touring Rome and suddenly went on a mission to find his baby's pacifier. He became intrigued by a confrontation at the Arch of Titus between a tour guide and a young Jewish boy. He found something else that he did not realize he had lost.

It is said that the victors write history.

But this is not necessarily true when it comes to Jewish history, as you will find out in this episode of the Bein Hashmoshos Zone.

Young Shmilik, the only son of elderly parents, has been taken by the Russian army. The general said 5000 rubles would get him released. Only Mr Holtzer, the wealthy land baron could help. But he is never interested to help others.

The Rebbe has a plan, but Shmilik's parents and the townspeople do not understand the Rebbe's actions.

Yossel said no to Russian General Rumyansev, a Russian war hero. No business on Shabbos. The General learns to respect Yossel.

 I picked this time and place because it fits the narrative of the Partition of Poland and General Rumyansev. 

Surprisingly, many years later, General Rumyansev's son helped build a shul in that village. This makes sense in light of the story.
