The trek to Mount Mandara has not been easy for three sisters, a squad of Arihanta escorts, a Sadhu guide, their foot servants, and a half-crazy MoG. Days of secret travel have given way to weeks, and weeks to months. Now, as the group finally arrives at their destination, the hidden purpose for their travel is revealed. The three sisters, who are on a vital mission to save their world from an evil enemy, could not be more different. Hattie, gifted with wisdom and virtue, is a natural leader. Margaret, whose sword matches her spirit, is a quick-tempered warrior. Ellen is a reserved, complex, and learned prophet. Together with help from friends and allies, the sisters must determine how to stop the evil Lord Daimon and his army in order to curb the spread of blackness across the land. In this gripping tale for young adults, three sisters must rely on each other, friends and allies, in order to defeat evil and hopefully usher in a new ear for their land before it is too late for all of them.

The study of classical Jewish texts is flourishing in day schools and adult education, synagogues and summer camps, universities and yeshivot. But serious inquiry into the practices and purposes of such study is far rarer. In this book, a diverse collection of empirical and conceptual studies illuminates particular aspects of the teaching of Bible and rabbinic literature to, and the learning of, children and adults. In addition to providing specific insights into the pedagogy of Jewish texts, these studies serve as models of what the disciplined study of pedagogy can look like. The book will be of interest to teachers of Jewish texts in all contexts, and will be particularly valuable for the professional development of Jewish educators.
