Talia Matityahu

The River to Freedom

The blazing sun of Baghdad set once again and when it rose the next morning, the cries of a new baby boy echoed throughout the city. Aharon Matityahu, son of Meir and Tefaha, was born blessed by the very nature of his name. Aharon, brother and confidant of Moses who led the Jewish people to freedom. Matityahu, a Maccabi warrior who saved the faith all those years ago. He came into this world strong before he even knew what he had to be strong for.
