Bøker av Hillel Halkin

An illuminating introduction by Halkin explains the social, cultural, and historical setting that produced the B'nei Menashe, while an afterword presents surprisingly convincing evidence for their contention that they are linked to the biblical tribe of Manasseh, one of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel exiled by the Assyrians in the eighth century BCE

Elegant and learned, personal and universal, literary, philosophical, and historical-Hillel Halkin's finely wrought essays on themes of Jewish culture and life are an education in themselves.
