Hardcover | 6″ x 9″ | 248 Pages

Written by: Devorie Kreiman

Published by: Israel Bookshop Publications

After Yossi died, I grappled with long-held beliefs: Hashem is close; everything that happens has a purpose; and our neshamos continue to exist after we leave This World. The comfort of these truths was there for me, if I was ready to accept it, but also—as I learned—”even if I’m not”…

At first, I couldn’t find my way forward. I felt like Hashem was saying, I’m asking you to do something impossible. Do it anyway.

Even If I’m Not is the story of doing the impossible.
