Dear friends and colleagues,
Before going on vacation abroad, I am sending you my summer publications. I wish you good rest, fruitful work and peaceful silence.
I write in English, as most of my writing has been published in that language. Many of the works are autobiographical.
1. Why I Didn’t Become French. San Diego Jewish World, July 1, 2024.

2. Musicians in the Family Led Lives of Disharmony. San Diego Jewish World, July 8, 2024.

4. Jewish Fiction: A Piece of Art. San Diego Jewish World, July 22, 2024.
https://www.sdjewishworld.com/This story is autobiographical, although there are elements of fiction in it. The fantastic hero of this story, in his real form, was the reason for my arrest.

5. Somerset Maugham Sought to Enlist Jews Against the Bolsheviks,
San Diego Jewish World, July 29, 2024.
https://www.sdjewishworld.com/
Although the main character of this essay is the English writer Somerset Maugham, the main topic here is the Jewish question in Russia 1917-1918. This essay was written as a result of information I received while working in the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge. There I learned from a local colleague about Maugham's work as a British spy.
6. כמה זמן תימשך המלחמה עם המחבלים בעזה, אתר מידה, 30 ביולי, 2024
https://mida.org.il/2024/07/
הטקסט של המאמר הזה הוא שלי אבל הכותרת היא פרי עבודתו של העורך. אני לא אוהב את הכותרת שלו. הנושא של המאמר הוא שנוי במחלוקת. אני נותן את ההערכה שלי של משך המלחמה בעזה בהשוואה למלחמה עם המחבלים במקום אחר.

He was a victim of anti-Semitic persecution and was exiled from Kiev to Soviet Central Asia, the setting of this story.
