SOVIET SENSATION

This issue took a trip through East Africa to uncover Jewish stories in the most unlikely places: from the remote Kenyan highlands to Ethiopia’s mountain monasteries. We also looked at the sensational Soviet art of Komar and Melamid; debated the crisis around free speech in UK universities; and uncovered the hidden history of London’s Mashadis. In October’s books section you’ll find novelist Adam Foulds discussing Jonathan Safran Foer’s novel Here I Am, Maureen Kendler exploring Sarit Yishai-Levi’s bestselling Sephardi saga, and Colin Shindler tackling a new book on antisemitism and the Left. Plus our poll results of the top 20 Jewish films of all time!
