THE JEWS is the saga of the Luminovs, of their achievements and their heritage, and of the nation they helped build over three generations: Zavel & Marya, fleeing from Russian programs, come to America, not knowing or understanding the test that awaits them; Daniel & Alma, forbidden to marry, their hopes shattered by the bitter hatred of their parents, they learn the cost of rebellion, and pledge their lives with a bond more sacred than marriage. Sadie & Christopher—She a flapper in the Jazz Age, he heir to the Harrington fortune, they have everything they want, but they live in a nation that envies their wealthy and pays with violence. David & Zosa, fiercely loyal to each other, clinging to their transcendent ambitions.
