Joseph's Dream: Townships of Avon, Beloit, Bradford, and Center

Joseph's Dream is based on the true story of Joseph Trumpeldor, grandfather of the Israel Defense Forces.

"A woman desperate for a reason to live..." Lisa Jacobs is a survivor of the Kishinev Massacre. She was forced to watch as her husband was murdered and moments afterwards, the murderers brutally violated her. She has nothing left in this world but her baby girl and her Zionism - the dream of a better future, where little Geula will hold her head high in a country of her own.

When she meets Captain Joseph Trumpeldor at a gathering of St. Petersburg Zionists, she is overwhelmed by emotion at the unfathomable sight of a professional Jewish soldier. Here stands the man of iron, the living hero who alone can rescue his tortured nation. She would follow him anywhere, and she does follow him, all the way to Eretz Israel, to a small kibbutz on the Sea of Galilee, hundreds of miles from the nearest city.

"A wounded soldier with no home to go back to..."After losing his left arm in the Siege of Port Arthur during the Russo-Japanese War, and being deported from the little kibbutz he retired to afterwards, Joseph Trumpeldor volunteers to lead a brigade of Jewish soldiers on the Turkish Front of World War I.

Will the Allies force the Turks out of the Land of Israel before the Jews there suffer the fate of the Armenians? Will Joseph ever make his way back? Will Lisa be alive when he gets there?

Joseph's Dream is to fight and die only for the Jewish nation.
