The Bridges of Jerusalem, (Hardcover)

Four students. Four faith backgrounds. One shared language: <em> literature</em>.<p></p><p>At the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, four students from different faiths and cultural traditions are drawn together by a shared love of literature and the human questions great books invite them to ask. In lecture halls, libraries, cafés, and city streets, Ahuva, Habib, Olivia, and Khalil discover that stories can do more than reflect the world. They can open hearts, challenge inherited assumptions, and create connection where fear and division have long held sway.</p><p></p><p>But bridges are never built in comfort alone.</p><p></p><p>As friendship deepens and emotional stakes rise, each of them must confront the weight of identity, faith, history, and belonging. What begins as intellectual exchange becomes something far more personal: a test of whether empathy, dialogue, and shared humanity can endure in a world shaped by conflict.</p><p></p><p><strong>Bridges of Jerusalem</strong> is a thoughtful literary novel about literature, connection, and the courage to keep listening across difference. It is rooted in the belief that stories can open hearts, deepen empathy, and remind us that beneath history, identity, and conflict, our shared humanity still has the power to draw us toward one another.</p><p></p>About the author: <p>Nasser Dasht Peyma was born in 1961 in Tabriz, a historic city in northwestern Iran shaped by layers of culture, language, and faith.
