Description
Judah Passow, photographer of No Place Like Home (Bloomsbury), has created an equally brilliant portrait of Jewish people who live north of England's border. In exploring the place of the Jewish community in contemporary Scottish society, Passow's journey has much emphasis, naturally, on Glasgow and Edinburgh but also takes us to surprising places like the Shetland Islands and Skye. This fascinating photographic essay shows Scotland's Jews firmly rooted in their Jewish
identity, but fervently patriotic Scots as well.
The photographs are introduced by Michael Mail, an award-winning author, who conceived the project to document Scottish Jewish life.
