Jewish Journeys Reviews

'Jewish Journeys is organized around Leigh's thoughts after years ofteaching and guiding tours. He occasionally muses on contemporary Jewish travel: Do Jews visit Masada to consider whether the zealotry of its holdouts is an inspirational example or to see the sun rise over Jordan? Does a satirical sketch on Israeli television about Holocaust package tours reflect the ambiguity of a trip to Poland... Pointed observations and excellent selected passages.' Jewish Book World
