MIRACLE AT EL ALAMEIN BY RABBI ZEV T. PARETZKY
Miracle at El Alamein: The Story of the
Rabbis Who Stopped the Nazi Onslaught
at the Gates of Eretz Yisrael by Rabbi Zev
Paretzky reads like a thriller.
Although this has suspense, thrills and
adventure galore, it is different from most
such reads in once crucial respect – it is all
true.
To be factual, Miracle at El Alamein is a
history book. It covers a little known aspect
of World War II: the Nazi advance on Eretz
Yisrael.
Not many people are aware that during the
war, the Italian Air Force strafed Tel Aviv
and bombed Haifa and that the famous Nazi
General Erwin Rommel, the Desert Fox, had
set his sights on Jerusalem.
There’s a widespread misconception that the
Jews of Eretz Yisrael were unaffected by the
war. Baruch Hashem, they were indeed
spared the fate of European Jewry, but it
was a very close call indeed.
This action-packed narrative keeps readers
on the edge of their seats, turning pages far
into the night to discover how things turn
out.
The Nazis came within a hair’s breadth of
conquering Palestine and implementing their
detailed plan for the destruction of Jewry in
the Middle East.
