A Song for Dad
Yehoshua (Shuka) Glotman
2006
This book was made after my father’s death. At that time, I met a friend who got rid of his glasses with the help of unconventional therapy. I decided to try it too. The therapist encouraged me to deal with repressed issues related to my relationship with my father. After our final meeting, I went back home to Abirim. The light I experienced led me from the entry of my house to Zavit ruins, an archaeological remnant with signs of an ancient habitation. That meeting took place on January 31, 2006 and therefore the book begins on that date.
