‘This Is Not a Cholent’: Stories of Jews from the Middle East and North Africa – review
Very grateful for this wonderful review by Leah Medin in The Jerusalem Post. Read the whole review – here.
“November 30 is Yom Haplitim (Refugee Day), dedicated to the recognition of the million Jews forced to flee their homes in Arab countries consequent to the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 – and the ensuing persecution in those lands.
The day aims to keep alive the ancestral history of these cultures and to commemorate the plight of the refugees.
One of the leading voices in perpetuating this narrative is author Sarah Sassoon. She is passionate about raising awareness about the fate of Jews from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).”
