(D 2 010. Pho to Sca la, Florence from The Jewish Odyssey: An Illus tra ted

and the Diaspora: A Subversive People," he
comes to the contemporary scene, where his
personal political views are most evident.
He begins by describing the Jews of the
United States, France, Russia, India, Japan
and China; Israel and the Yom Kippur War;
and a discussion of the Lubavitch movement.
Orthodox, Conservative and Reform Judaism,
as well as contemporary anti-Semitism and
the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, are briefly
reviewed, followed by a discussion of the rela-
tionship between Israel and the Diaspora.
Halter concludes by emphasizing the
importance of remembering, transmitting and
interpreting Jewish texts from one generation
to the next.
If you want a gift for those interested in an
once-over lightly account of Jewish history
— produced in a beautifully illustrated pack-
age — check out Marek Halter's The Jewish
Odyssey.

Sumero-Akkadian sculpture

Baghdad). Right: Couple of beggars from Russian

Poland (1930, Vienna).

"This image of a Sumerian couple reminds me of my

grandparents in Warsaw. Every Jew, whether from

East or West, can identify with it. Between these

two images is the odyssey of the Jewish people,"

writes Marek Halter in the introduction to

The Jewish Odyssey: An Illustrated History.
