Can you recommend some jewish science fiction books?

One such book could be 'The Golem and the Jinni' by Helene Wecker. It combines elements of Jewish and Middle Eastern mythology in a fictional New York setting, exploring themes of identity and belonging.

Well, 'My Name Is Asher Lev' is also a remarkable Jewish fiction work. It explores the life of a young Hasidic Jewish boy who has a great talent for painting, but his art often clashes with the traditions and expectations of his community.

In the 'Dune' series, there are characters that can be associated with Jewish themes and some of the characters' cultures and behaviors might be seen as having parallels to Jewish heritage, though it's more in a very nuanced and complex way. The Bene Gesserit, for example, with their complex social structure and influence, have some elements that can be related to the long - standing and influential role of Jewish communities in history.

Isaac Asimov was of Jewish heritage and many of his works can be considered to have elements related to Jewish thought within the realm of science fiction. His 'Foundation' series, for example, while not overtly 'Jewish' in a religious sense, has ideas about civilization - building, knowledge - preservation, and moral guidance that can be related to Jewish values of education and community.

Another is 'Maus' by Art Spiegelman. It's a unique graphic novel that uses animals to represent different groups during the Holocaust, with Jews as mice. It's a very powerful and moving account of that dark time in Jewish history.

One new Jewish fiction book is 'The Netanyahus' by Joshua Cohen. It offers a fictionalized take on the Netanyahu family. Another is 'Milk Fed' by Melissa Broder which delves into themes relevant to the Jewish experience and modern life. Also, 'The Family Fang' by Kevin Wilson has elements that can be related to Jewish family dynamics in a contemporary context.

One well - known Orthodox Jewish fiction book is 'The Chosen' by Chaim Potok. It delves into the lives of two Jewish boys from different backgrounds within the Orthodox community in Brooklyn. It explores themes of friendship, religious study, and the impact of different outlooks on life and faith.

Sure. 'The Gift of Asher Lev' by Chaim Potok is a top pick. It focuses on a young Jewish artist, Asher Lev, who struggles to balance his artistic talent and the traditions and expectations of his Hasidic community. It's a deep exploration of identity and the clash between individual creativity and religious and cultural norms.

'The Yiddish Policemen's Union' by Michael Chabon is also a notable one. Set in an alternate history where a temporary Jewish settlement was established in Alaska, it weaves together elements of noir detective fiction with Jewish culture, exploring themes of diaspora, identity, and community.

Sure. 'The Family Carnovsky' by Isaac Bashevis Singer. It's a great exploration of a Jewish family's life. Then there's 'Enemies, A Love Story' by Isaac Bashevis Singer as well. It shows the complex relationships in a post - Holocaust world. Another one is 'The Book of Lights' by Chaim Potok which is about two young rabbis and their different paths.
