Exile

Portraits of the Jewish Diaspora

By: Annika Hernroth-Rothstein, Tiffany Gabbay - editor

Narrated by: Rebecca Gibel

An innovative and poignant exploration of diverse Jewish communities throughout the diaspora.

It's been 2,000 years after most Jews were exiled from Jerusalem and the rest of the Holy Land, and two generations since the Holocaust led to the founding of modern Israel. Still, small yet resilient Jewish communities continue to endure and thrive around the world - sometimes in the most unlikely places, and often in the face of extreme persecution.

Journalist Annika Hernroth-Rothstein has spent two years of her life uncovering the hidden beauty of these largely forgotten Jewish enclaves. Drawing from her personal experience of growing up as a Jew in a tiny village in Sweden, Annika brings brilliant life to the history, culture, and most importantly, the fascinating people she's met on her journey.

Part sociology, part history lesson, and always a love letter to the Jewish people, Exile is an indispensable guide to rediscovering forgotten pieces of a rich Jewish history.

You greatly expanded my travel bucket list

Amazing book, I am not sure where to begin, but as my title says "you greatly expanded my travel bucket list".
I now have a great urge to see Djerba, Morocco and last but not least Palermo.
For now, I will have to suffice and live vicariously through you. by listening to the audiobook again and by purchasing a physical copy of it.
thanks much.

Subjective and definitely not academic

As a Muslim, I got really upset about the numerous negative comments about Muslims. I really expected an objective viewpoint about the Jewish diaspora, but instead got a subjective and self-loving viewpoint of a Zionist Ashkenazi Jew.
