One of two Jewish SF anthologies I kickstarted this year, this one focused on alternate history. It's a big, beefy paperback with over thirty stories and poems in it, many from writers I recognize as among the most important writers of Jewish SFF- Bob Silverberg, Bogi Takacs, Benjamin Rosenbaum, Lavie Tidhar, Gillian Polack, and more. I've only read a small number of the stories, but so far I've been enjoying nearly everything I've read, and Eric Choi's alternate imagining of the 2003 Columbia shuttle launch in "A Sky and a Heaven" will haunt me. There's a stunning range of Jewish what-ifs here and I'm really eager to keep digging into them.
