GOLIATH'S HEAD revisits a profound time in Jewish History through the eyes of a Ukrainian Jew 

Description:  

GOLIATH'S HEAD tells the story of a search for courage and hope in the midst of crushing oppression. Avi Schneider is a Jewish boy growing up in Russia on the eve of early-twentieth-century revolution. He is only nine years old when he first meets his own personal devil, a brutal youngster who relished tormenting Jews. In the years that follow, Avi is the object of his tormentor's obsession. The story reaches a climax fourteen years later in 1905 when the Tsar instigates riots against the poor, teeming Jewish village.
