Radio Prague (http://bit.ly/1hEICMa) reports the author of “Altschulova Metoda,” (Atschul’s Method) Chaim Cigan, turns out to be Prague Rabbi Karol Sidon. Sidon had hoped his pen name would hide his identity for a least a year, but admitted he was the author as speculations grew.
Atschul’s Method is the first book of four in a science fiction series about politics, prison and the secret police combined with Moses and Jewish history.
The next two books in the series will be published over the next two years. Sidon, a screenwriter and playwright, has not finished the final book yet. The full series is titled, “Kde lišky davaji dobrou noc” (Where Foxes Lay Down to Sleep).
Rabbi Sidon is an exceptional person. We met him on a Shabbat dovening in the shul of the Maharal of Prague.His dvar Torah on Friday night blew us away.
