A House of David in the Land of Jesus

Résumé du livre

"In this fascinating read, Robert Lewis Berman extensively researches and records the history of a Jewish community located in an unlikely city, Lexington, Mississippi. Since the first Jewish settlers arrived in the late 1800s, the resilient society has peacefully prospered. Their synagogue, Temple Beth El, still stands among a sea of Christian churches. Each chapter contains a profile of a community member and their inspiring story of life in Lexington. Berman's recollections of growing up as a Jew in the predominanatly Christian South are also sprinkled throughout the book."--Jacket.
