A Jewish Odyssey: One Woman's Life in America, Israel, and India

Saralea Zohar Aaron's remarkable, richly detailed memoir is a story of growing up in a struggling immigrant Jewish family during the 1940's and 1950's in Chelsea, Massachusetts, a small city north of Boston; of marrying and giving birth to her daughter in Israel and serving as a triage nurse during some of the bloodiest battles of the Yom Kippur War; of traveling in India; of organizing aid for Native Americans and Ethiopian Jewry after her return to the United States. Her reflections on the Jewish-Palestinian dilemma, and on Jewish-Christian issues, are both candid and insightful.
