Far from Zion: In Search of a Global Jewish Community by Charles London is the author's search for the meaning of Jewish identity. London is an interesting choice for this mission. As of the writing of this book in 2009, he knew little about “synagogue” Judaism – and he visits synagogues in diverse places such as Arkansas, Teheran, and Burma. Despite this (or because of it) he is a deft guide, and as a gay man, he brings even more to the table of “intersectionality” than we would otherwise expect.
