An informal gathering of Jewish family and friends before the Sabbath. We contemplate the present and the future of South Africa’s Jewish community.
South African Jewish involvement in theatre, the arts and creativity — and what it did for the community.
The thinkers, the philosophers, the writers, the people of science and medicine and the law — truly a ‘people of the book’.
The engagement of the community with the political realities of South Africa.
The integration of the community into the civil society that surrounded them.
The establishment of the communal institutions, from graveyards to schools.
From hawkers to captains of industry, the same road was trudged.
How did the immigrant South African Jewish community arrive at the foot of Africa? Who were they, where did they come from, and where did they go?
