avid Shepherd seeks to
identify unknown people
whose names keep running
through his head. His quest evolves
into an effort to save the last three
of his generation's Lamed Vovniks,
the 36 righteous individuals of every
generation whose goodness, accord-
ing to Jewish teachings, keeps the
world going.
The turbulence surrounding the
quest, which demands fighting a
secret religious cult intent on the
destruction of the righteous, and
ultimately the world, is central to the
novel The Book of Names. To be
published Jan. 9 by St. Martin's Press
($19.95), the book is the latest project
of West Bloomfield neighbors and
best friends Jan Greenberg and Karen
Katz.
The women, who write books inde-
pendently as well as together, will be
signing copies 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan.
17, at Borders in Farmington Hills.
The international rights already have
been sold in 13 countries.
"Our goal was to try to write a
very suspenseful story and share a

little bit of what Kabbalah really is
as opposed to celebrity Kabbalah,"
says the 50ish Greenberg. "A lot of the
basics are historical, but we made up
the story.
"The Gnostics were an ancient sect,
and we made our bad guys a branch
of that sect. We wanted to stress that
Kabbalists value life and the Gnoseos
do not."
Greenberg and Katz started think-
ing about this book 10 years ago,
when Katz was taking a bat mitzvah
class and learned about the Lamed
Vovniks. The actual writing started
eight years later.
"We collaborate by sitting side-by-
side at a computer and taking turns
at it," Greenberg explains. "We write
every line together. Sometimes, we
even say the lines at the same time.
Our brains are very hooked up."
The writers began working togeth-
er about 25 years ago, after meeting
during a mother-toddler program
at Adat Shalom Synagogue. Their
children had begun asking questions
about Judaism, and they were unsure
of the answers.
Assuming that other parents were
having the same issues, the two
women came up with the idea for
