Item Description:

The Jewish relationship with Greece and Turkey date as far back as Shlomo HaMelech who met with the "chachamim ha tuma," the ancient Greek philosophers. Rabbi Wein traces the history of this relationship through its many phases, through the Byzantine Empire, the resettlement of Spanish Jewry, the devastation of World War II, all the way up to present-day relations with the State of Israel. Complex and rarely peaceful, Rabbi Wein proves that Jewish survival in these cultures has been nothing short of miraculous.
