Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Written in sprightly style, this facinating book is based on articles published in Hadassah magazine. It gives the reader a broad overview of 48 cities from a Jewish perspective, from exotic Nairobi to staid Boston. The format for each chapter includes a brief history of Jewish settlement, synopsis of the current community scene including colorful local personalities, a listing of Jewish sightseeing and cultural attractions, suggestions for general tourist activities, and tips for accommodations and restaurants. A special feature is the recommendations of both fiction and nonfiction that capture the unique Jewish flavor of each locale. A marvelous source of information and entertainment for anyone interested in things Jewish. Jewish Book Club selection. Carol R. Glatt, COMPSET SYSTEMS, Cherry Hill, N.J.

4.0 out of 5 stars ...the whole world's Jewish!, August 14, 2000
By Nancy B. "Nancy" (Beverly Hills, CA USA) - See all my reviews
I bought the book because I love the travel articles in Hadassah Magazine. They are consistently fascinating and well written. The book offers Jewish history, customs, and local color of 100 places, both familiar and exotic. Only two things could make it better: I miss the photos that are published in the magazine; and the articles should be dated. It's still worth reading, even if not current, but since phone numbers, restaurants and hotels change over time, readers should know when each article was written.

4.0 out of 5 stars world of jewish interest, May 26, 2000
The articles are detailed and interesting. HOwever, the book does not cover asia or the south pacific so it is not good as a guide to world jewish travel. The Ben Frank book lists more restaurants but this book tells you the historic significance and current sites of interest to the jewish traveller.
