Book Talk: Dõna Gracia, A Superhero from Long Ago with author Marilyn Froggatt and Rabbi Michael Dolgin
Monday, March 8 at 2.00 p.m.

The story of an extraordinary 16th-century Jewish woman who was virtually forgotten for over 500 years but is now being honoured around the world.

Marilyn Froggatt brings to life the dramatic story of Doña Gracia Nasi, born in Portugal in 1510 into a Sephardic Jewish family forced to pose as Christians to survive the brutal Inquisition. She discovered her family was secretly Jewish in her teens, promising her dying mother that she would live according to Judaic traditions and do all she could to help other secret Jews escape persecution. She kept that perilous promise for the rest of her life.

The book is available for purchase on Amzaon.ca.
