Taslitt Novel
Relates Bible's
Deborah Story
A dramatic Bible story is recon-
structed by Israel I. Taslitt in
"Thunder Over Tabor," published
by Sabra Books.
Recounting the story of Deborah,
Taslitt's tale is about the Bible
Heroine, about Barak and Sisera,
as it was enacted on Mount Tabor.
But w h lie it is primarliy based
on the era of Deborah the Prophet-
ess, there is really little about her

also by the elders.
The Deborah story is mainly in
the epilogue in which Arnon, in a
letter to his father, General
Barak, recounts the Deborah
Bible story, quoting the Song of
Deborah. Actually, the entire
book is mainly about Arnon who
plays a role of significance in
sort of espionage among the
Caananites who were holding the
Israelites in submision. The Is-
raelite revolt is the main theme
and the tyranny of Sisera is re-
corded.
Sisera is portrayed murdering
Heber the Kenit who was laboring
in behalf of Israel's planned revolt.
His widow, Yael, as recorded bib-
lically, exacts vengeance by pierc-
ing Sisera's temple and ending his
rule of oppression.
