The Silversmith’s Secret

by Stephen A Seche

“I have watched you and believe you are a trustworthy man, and so I am placing my life’s work in your care and ask only that you find a way to share it with the world.” A gifted silversmith named Moishe Azani presses a note bearing these words into the hand of the American pilot who has just delivered hundreds of Yemeni Jews like himself to the Promised Land of Israel in April 1949. For over sixty years the note sits untranslated and unread—until it comes into the possession of the pilot’s grandson. Unemployed and aimless, the young man seizes on the opportunity to retrieve the jewelry Moishe was forced to leave behind, a decision that leads inexorably to grave danger in a corner of the globe where poverty, corruption, and a virulent form of international terrorism have taken root. Weaving together the lives of two remarkably different individuals, The Silversmith’s Secret brings into bold relief the rich past and troubled present of Yemen as it mines timeless themes of identity, belonging, alienation, and redemption.
