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. Amazon Blog Check out
