What does it mean to be Jewish in an age of doubt, distortion, and distance from our own story?
In My Sword and My Bow, a deeply personal and unapologetically bold reflection on Jewish identity, Torah, Micha, the Sahib of TTC, weaves history, mysticism, and memory into a singular tapestry.
With one foot in ancient texts and the other in the chaos of the modern world, this book is both a rallying cry and a quiet meditation—a call to return not only to our Source, but to ourselves.
From the celestial geometry of the Magen David to the grounded breath of waving a Lulav, from the seventh direction that lives within us to the eternal tension between exile and return, this book explores what it means to live a life rooted in meaning.
Drawing on Torah, Midrash, Ramban, Rashi, the Or HaChaim, the mystics of Tzfat, and the raw realities of Jewish life in our times, Micha builds a case for Jewish strength—not the strength of armies, but of memory, mitzvot, and the mysterious breath of the neshama yesera that returns each Shabbat.
This is not a political polemic. Nor is it a dry treatise. It’s a sword drawn in words, and a bow strung with kavana.
A defense of the Jewish soul against both external assault and internal erosion. A meditation on sacred land, sacred texts, and sacred time.
From a California surf punk bar mitzvah drop-out to a student of Jerusalem’s deepest texts, Turtletaub brings a voice that is passionate, poetic, and fearless.
In these pages, you'll find reflections on exile and redemption, Sabbath and sovereignty, mysticism and martial arts, victimhood and vision. You’ll meet a nation that refuses to vanish, a God who rests not in abstraction but in relationship, and a tradition that sees prayer not as piety, but as revolution.
This book is for the seeker, the skeptic, the scholar, and the fighter.
It is for those who long to understand their inheritance—not just the land, but the way to hold it.
