BooksThe Complete Jewish Guide to France
France has the third largest Jewish community in the world. Take a look at Jewish life in France from the fifth century to the present – where it has been and where it’s going, how it addresses Jewish issues such as intermarriage and assimilation, how it lives with the memory of French involvement in the Holocaust, and how it copes with a governmental policy that is often unfriendly to Israel. The San Francisco Jewish Bulletin wrote, "Kamins' book is Paul Johnson's 'A History of the Jews' meets 'Frommer's France.' It is both history lesson and travel guide that will likely interest any Jewish traveler to France." The Complete Jewish Guide to Britain and Ireland
