Far from Zion

<p>A fascinating narrative of community and faith Charles London's <em>Far From Zion </em>explores the Jewish Diaspora in some of the most unexpected places--from Burma to Tehran to Cuba and even Bentonville Arkansas. The award-winning author of the highly acclaimed <em>One Day the Soldiers Came </em>London tells the stories of the Jews who stayed behind choosing to remain in the countries of their birth rather than immigrating to the Holy Land of Israel. At once a riveting modern history of a scattered People of the Book and London's moving story of his own personal odyssey of religious and cultural discovery <em>Far From Zion </em>is an affecting and unforgettable study of diversity tenacity survival and rebirth. <p></p></p> <p> </p></p>
