Unusual circumstances set the stage for surprises, contrasting deeply-rooted traditions against contemporary culture, raising complex questions of faith, tradition, and spirituality. Together these threads form the vibrant tapestry of Techelet, a diverse short story collection rooted in Jewish faith and culture-but containing universal themes and topics that readers of any faith, or no faith at all, can enjoy.
Utilizing a wide range of literary styles and techniques, the tales within combine personal anecdotes and imaginative storytelling for a powerful, thought-provoking, and sometimes humorous glimpse into the mysterious and spiritual aspects of life.
Discover a locksmith with an unusual secret, a medical procedure that could change the future, and a play with the power to transport a family through time. Surprise endings and candid observations await as you make your way through the unique landscapes found at the heart of Robert Abram Seltzer's literary tales.
Penned over the course of a decade, the contents of Techelet range from true experiences, to Biblical parables, to a graphic story reminiscent of a single page of Talmud-stimulating reflections on religious ritual, cultural relevance and defining the divine.
