The dangerous rise of anti-Semitism makes it urgent that the general public has a better appreciation of Jews and Judaism and their valuable contribution to the modern world.

This book provides an overview of the Jewish community in Britain. A visit to a Jewish home and to a synagogue service are described, as well as the festivals, which recall major events in Jewish history.

The teachings of many famous rabbis and Jewish scholars are summarised. Many issues relating to the horror of the Holocaust, which still casts a shadow over Jewish life, are discussed.

The complex history of Israel/Palestine is explained and the efforts of those who today work for peace and defend human rights, are highlighted.

The final chapter recounts the troubled history of Jewish-Christian relations and emphasises the growing friendship and co-operation of members of both faiths as they work together for the healing of the world.

Please note, the book was written before the tragic events in Gaza, 2024.
