Yochi Brands' God is really not an abstract God. He has completely human qualities. More than that, he even changes. And all this does not happen to him because of himself, but because of some of the great figures of the Bible, who make him a "school". Each according to her own characteristic way, and her alone. Eve, Cain, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Elijah and Jonah - Not all of them are exemplary figures - succeeding in wringing from the God of the Bible his human characteristics and turning him into our God. When God was young is a fun book, full of mischievous humor, written in a language equal to every soul and read fluently. A delicious book, waiting and delightful, that opens the mind and the heart. Yochi Brands, whose amazing books turn Jewish culture into a true celebration of reading, reads the Bible afresh for us in this book. This is one of the high peaks of her work. Yigal Schwartz
