Description:After Vera dares to approach author Leslie Adler on a Leningrad corner in 1976, forbidden friendship is formed. Leslie becomes Vera's confidante and link to the West. With help from her Minneapolis connections, Vera builds a successful business in Russia despite her disdain for her country and the disruption of Russian mafia attacks. In contrast, Alisa secretly escapes the Soviet Union to a destination that that was not her first choice. Jewish Luck recounts the intertwined stories of two women, who, in their struggles against the anti-Semitism and patriarchy of the Soviet regime and the rebranded "New" Russia, succeed by creating their own luck. Their sisterhood is kindled when Vera and Alisa grudgingly line up to register for classes at the Institute that produced experts in Marxist-Leninist economics, a field on its way to extinction. For the next three decades, Vera and Alisa fight for their dreams of self-expression and stats. To do so, they must deprogram their minds of Soviet theory and learn the new language of a free market economy.
