Jews are a global people


Adam, thanks for posting this wonderful article on Shanghai which backs up my contention that Jews are a global people and that our history does not begin and end in Europe. Jewish history is also richly Asian. That’s why half of my travel book, The Scattered Tribe: Traveling the Diaspora from Cuba to India to Tahiti and Beyond,” (Globe Pequot Press)  deals with Asia, especially India, Burma and Vietnam. As Professor Nathan Katz notes: The Indian chapter in Jewish history, for example, “is one of the happiest of the Jewish diaspora.” Thanks for Asian Jewish Life for running it.
