ROSS, JAMES R. Fragile branches. Travels through the Jewish Diaspora.
New York Riverhead Books 2000 1573221651 / 9781573221658 Soft Cover Signed by Author
229 pages, pictorial wrappers, very good. Signed by author. From the rear cover, 'A Ugandan village, an island in the Amazon, a Peruvian mountain town. Throughout the world, in the unlikeliest places, isolated communities are embracing Judaism despite enormous obstacles. In this tour of six Jewish communities, James Ross creates a fascinating portrait of people who are currently risking their lives and livelihoods to exist as Jews, though in some cases they have no historical links to Judaism. As Ross describes Jewish communities in India, Peru, Brazil, Israel, Uganda, and other far-flung countries, a variegated picture of contemporary Jewish life emerges, offering us new perspectives on ancient precepts, thoughts, and rituals - and inspiring us to reexaine our own relationship with tradition. In reminding us of the diversity and richness of Jewish life, which has always borrowed from surrounding cultures, Fragile Branches begs the ever perplexing question of who is a Jew - a question that has troubled Jews and non-Jews alike for centuries.'; Signed by Author
