You might want to read the happy endings novel titled A Perfect
Mitzvah Gift Book, a time-travel novel. Kids on the Silk Road meet up
with Prince Svyatoslav in 965 CE just as he is battling with Khazars
and the royal family has recently converted through the teachings of
Rabbi Ha-Sangari of Constantinople. The royal Khazar family of the
Khagan observant, and his two children and Persian wife are now
seeking a new homeland disguised as pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem
and Mecca. They are healers who have been taught the wisdom of
acupuncture from friends along the Silk Road from Cathay.

This 10th century time-travel location for an adventure novel based in
Kiev, the Volga-Caspian delta near where Astrakhan is today, and the
Caucasus takes place during the era of the Khazars and Jews of Persia,
Georgia, and Constantinople trading with one another in the Caucasus
(Kavkaz) mountains is titled, A Perfect Mitzvah Gift Book: Time travel
with the Kagan's Kids to 10th Century Kiev, "When Jews Of Eastern
Europe Had No Hope Other Than The Grace Of The Almighty, The Coming Of
The Meshiach, Or The Arrival Of The Khazars."

One of 80 published books that include numerous novels and plays by
Anne Hart , specializing in historical and contemporary multi-cultural
and ethnographic novels of Greeks, Sicilians, Spaniards, Middle
Easterners, Swedes/Finns, and other ethnographic travelers that heal.

Hart emphasizes ethnographic novels as anthropology and ethnology
through historical time-travel fiction. The Book is published by ASJA
Press imprint, ISBN: 0-595-38159-6, Dec. 2005. The Silk Road kids are
on the road again with their acupuncture needles given to them by a
wise one of Cathay.

They now must walk from Khazaria to Jerusalem to repair the world with
good medicine learned from many wise healers of numerous cultures of
the world's rivers and trade routes. It's a coming-of-age story as the
perfect novel to give to someone ages 13-15 going through the
celebrations or rites of passage of taking on more adult
responsibilities for doing good, repairing the world through healing,
and giving charity by righteous deeds to all peoples in a wide variety
of countries as the children of the Kagan of the Khazars walk from
their home where the Volga flows into the Caspian to the Middle East-
Jerusalem with a mission of healing, health, and peace.

There may not have been any concept of Bar or Bat Mitzvah in 10th
century Kiev 'yet,' but that wouldn't stop the nearly grown children
of the Kagan of the Khazars from arranging the appropriate rite of
passage and blessing for the changing of the societies around them
which they knew-the pagan Vikings, Rus, and Pechenegs surrounding
Kiev, the Volga Finnic peoples of the Urals, the eternal Silk Road,
Christian Byzantium to the south, the Caucasus Mountaineers, the
grassland steppes, the rabbi-scholars of Constantinople and Spain, the
Turks arriving from Central Asia, and the Islamic Caliphate of Persia
and Baghdad to the East.

Each encounter began a new concept and framework for their time-travel
adventures. The garden of the Khazars is a storyteller's paradise,
especially during the time that their ruler's family, friends, and
associates turned Jewish, and the Kagan of the Khazars got tied up in
the belly of a Viking Ship, rescued by his thirteen-year-old son, and
his daughter, the teenage, time-traveling Princess Tarbagatay rode
between the fourth and tenth centuries with the Queen of the Steppes.
Welcome to anthropology through fiction and this series for all
storytellers on tall tales of Medieval Khazaria. Let this first-person
diary-style person proto-Bar or Bat Mitzvah gift story book novel,
although fiction, guide you through the walkways of anthropology and
ethnology in this Kagan's Kids of Khazaria Time-Travel Adventures, the
perfect book for a Mitzvah gift for thirteen to fifteen-year old
readers and also for their parents.

Hart is popular as an author of multicultural and multiethnic novels
that reveal the nuances of anthropology through fiction-stories,
novels, and plays-let this novel and the treat that follows be your
mentor to open doors to new opportunities, choices, roads, and
destinations.

The teenage children of the Kagan of the Khazars also time-travel
through Weasel Cave in the Caucasus only to emerge in the midst of
WW2, where they witness life with the mountain men, finally returning
to the golden age of their Sarkel and Atil in the 9th century, where
the Volga flows into the Caspian. This book shows how peoples of the
many great religions can get along and heal with harmony, knowledge,
and peace.
