In this episode of the Jewish Geography Podcast we interview Daniella, author of the newly released novel, "By Light of Hidden Candles,' a historical novel which follows the story of two families through five hundred years of turmoil, faith and romance from inquisition era Spain until the present. Then we talk about the parsha, Lech Lecha, and how our difficulties are part of God's self improvement program for our souls. The podcast finishes with a virtual tour, recorded live at Jerusalem's Jaffa Gate, the main entrance to the Old City.
