1945. La guerre est finie en Europe, mais en Palestine les tensions montent autour de la création de l''État d''Israël. Alors que la ville sainte est encore sous contrôle britannique, la famille de Motti se divise en trois camps, trois facettes différentes de la société israélienne, illustrée par trois frères : militaire, communiste, et activiste. Les conflits familiaux rejoignent les violences de Jérusalem, déchirée par les tensions entre Juifs et Arabes, à travers le regard du petit Motti et de son cousin Jonathan. Le récit d''une tragédie dont les échos résonnent encore aujourd''hui en Israël.

Jerusalem is a sweeping, epic graphic novel that follows a single family—three generations and fifteen very different people—as they are swept up in chaos, war, and nation-making from 1940-1948. Faith, family, and politics are the heady mix that fuel this ambitious, cinematic graphic novel. With Jerusalem, author-filmmaker Boaz Yakin turns his finely-honed storytelling skills to a topic near to his heart: Yakin''s family lived in Palestine during this period and was caught up in the turmoil of war just as his characters are. This is a personal work, but it is not a book with a political ax to grind. Rather, this comic seeks to tell the stories of a huge cast of memorable characters as they wrestle with a time when nothing was clear and no path was smooth.

In graphic novel form, tells the story of Eucles, the Athenian messenger who, in 490 B.C., ran twenty-seven miles from Sparta to Athens, preventing the fall of Greece to the Persian Empire.

Set in New York''s bustling diamond and jewellery trade, this screenplay tells of the struggle of a young woman to take control of her life amid the stifling pressures of living in a Hassidic community. The book includes an interview in which Boaz Yakin discusses the evolution of his film-making.
