Snow in August
Snow in August | Pete Hamill
5 posts | 6 read | 9 to read
In the year 1947, Michael Devlin, eleven years old and 100 percent American-Irish, is about to forge an extraordinary bond with a refugee of war named Rabbi Judah Hirsch. Standing united against a common enemy, they will summon from ancient sources a power in desperately short supply in modern Brooklyn-a force that's forgotten by most of the world but is known to believers as magic.

Great read about post WWII, a boy, a rabbi, and a Golem. You also get to learn Yiddish!:). Really liked its Brooklyn setting and the feel of that time in history.
