The future of the Kingdom of Yisrael hangs in the balance.

Yona is tasked with a bewildering mission: persuade Yisrael's most powerful enemy to repent its evil and save itself from destruction. Aghast at the personal, geopolitical, and theological implications of this divine command, Yona attempts to flee, launching him on a perilous journey as he descends to the darkest depths of Creation - and his own soul.

The creative team of Emmy Award-winning writer David Sacks (The Simpsons) producer Jordan B. Gorfinkel (Batman, Koren Tanakh Graphic Novel: Esther), and Israeli illustrators Larisa Kerzhner and Avi Blyer (Where Is Anne Frank) presents a faithful and visually evocative rendering of this quintessential, dramatic meditation on repentance and forgiveness.

The Koren Tanakh Graphic Novel series presents the unabridged Hebrew biblical text in the classic Koren typeface, alongside graphic novel storytelling that integrates the English translation with sophisticated illustration, bringing the biblical narrative to life and hidden layers of meaning to light. A multi-disciplinary team of world-class artistic talent, drawing on scholarly expertise in Tanakh, Midrash, archaeology, history, and more, spares no effort to render each biblical work with authenticity, delivering a rewarding blend of textual clarity, interpretive depth, and artistic nuance.

Yona is suitable for use on and preparation for Yom Kippur, as well as year-round study, enjoyment, and contemplation.
