An interesting look at a life on a colony ship from Earth, particularly as this one seeks to preserve Jewish culture. So while there's not a lot of talk about God or religious aspects of Judaism, cultural traditions are pretty prevalent in this book, which was a bit unexpected. This book is really similar to Beth Revis's [b:Across the Universe|8235178|Across the Universe (Across the Universe, #1)|Beth Revis|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1348085121s/8235178.jpg|13082532]. They're both about equally good, though I think I would recommend this one simply because it features a minority culture and it also deals a little bit more with the idea of personal freedom; the original colonists gave up many of their personal freedoms for the good of humanity's survival, so their descendants can then enjoy those freedoms in a new home.
