The Jewish community of Latvia lived at the crossroads of East and West and was the home of such distinguished people as Isaiah Berlin and Sergey Eisenstein. This book is a full history of the Jews of the region; from the first arrivals in the sixteenth century to the end of the twentieth; when the Holocaust and the second Soviet occupation resulted in the demise of the Jewish community in Latvia.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Short but not very helpfulBy bshaugThis book is short and nice but I found that it didn't explain Hinduism much better than most books. Westerners have great difficulty wrapping their head around Hinduism and while this book provides the basics it doesn't help a lot. I totally disagreed with the last chapter which sounds more like a syncretistic approach of trying to blend Christianity with Hinduism to reach people.
