WHEREVER YOU GO : A novella

When the time comes to choose between love on the one hand, and values and lifestyle on the other, what does one choose?

Iddo gets out of a meeting in Safed as part of his work as a ghost writer, and starts roaming the alleyways of the old city. During these wanderings, he contemplates and revisits memories and tries to reach a fateful decision.

The backdrop is his romantic relationship with Gali, which has run aground in the wake of Gali’s growing movement towards religion and her intention to adopt the lifestyle of an observant Jew. The crisis encompasses not just opposing worldviews, but also different personality traits and miscommunication between the two of them.

Iddo fights in vain against the change his beloved is going through, but struggles to give her up. He stands at a crossroads, knowing that whichever path he chooses to take, he will pay a price. As he wanders Safed, he recalls conversations, sights and feelings and tries to figure out what the right path is for him, and whether it isn’t too late.
