The Jews of Venice

 


Harry Freedman writes excellent popular books on Jewish subjects, and his Shylock's Venice: The Remarkable History of Venice's Jews is no different.  The Venice Jewish community looms large in the annals of Jewish history; it was surprising to me that they never numbered more than five thousand.  Read this book and learn about their sustained success in a time and place which should have prevented them from becoming a great Jewish society.
