Abraham and Adam Schlemiel are troublemakers. They live in The Village, an remote Jewish settlement in the middle of the Black Forest, and are known as “the twins”, identical pranksters who change places at whim. Growing into adulthood, The Brothers Schlemiel struggle with issues of identity and right and wrong, all the while creating elaborate pranks and foiling thieves. Abraham, though older, is more thoughtful, while Adam remains impulsive. 

When Abraham falls in love with a Gypsy princess and is forced to flee the village, Adam is betrothed to a girl who believes that he’s Abraham. 

The Brothers Schlemiel blends magical realism, adventure and the   picaresque, with a wealth of lovable supporting characters. 

Originally serialized over two years in the Houston Jewish Voice, The Brothers Schlemiel was the first novel to be distributed via email. Once you begin reading, you won’t want it to end.

"Laughing out loud humor… very poignant and sweet"  – Jewish Herald Voice, Houston, TX 
"The mix-ups are many and the potential for laughter abundant."  – Jewish Book World

"In the spirit of Sholem Aleichem… These stories of identical twins, confused from birth, will charm with their simplicity and sincerity." – AudioFile
