Wayfarers, the latest novel from acclaimed author and filmmaker Arnon Z. Shorr, weaves a thrilling tale of survival, faith, and the enduring power of heritage. Drawing from the timeless story of Exodus, this post-apocalyptic adventure is set in a world where religion is forbidden, and the struggle to preserve cultural identity becomes a matter of life and death.

Synopsis:
In a desolate future where the totalitarian New Dominion has outlawed all religious practice, a group of Jewish refugees embarks on a perilous journey to the coast, seeking safety aboard a waiting freighter. Led by the courageous Rabbi Moshe and the skeptical yet resourceful Abe Katz, the group must navigate hostile landscapes, evade relentless pursuit, and confront internal doubts about faith and survival. Central to their mission is the protection of “the Ark,” a digital archive preserving thousands of years of Jewish tradition. As threats from both outside forces and internal conflicts mount, Wayfarers explores themes of cultural resilience, identity, and the complex relationship between past and future.
