The Golden Chain recalls a great Yiddish idea - die goldene keyt -
the handing on of the enormous cultural wealth of Jewish tradition
from generation to generation. This was the mission of the founding
editor of The Jewish Quarterly, Jacob Sonntag, who, as he later
recalled, felt called upon to add a link to the 'golden chain'.
writing from around the world. It remains true to its founding
ideals of cultural pluralism and open debate about the many issues
of interest and concern to Jews in Britain and internationally.
This volume brings together the finest writing to have been
published in The Jewish Quarterly since it began. It focuses on
central themes of London, community, vanished worlds, literature,
Israel, and includes: poetry by Dannie Abse, Al Alvarez, Ruth
Fainlight, Bernard Kops and Nelly Sachs; short stories by Sholom
Aleichem, Bernice Rubens and Arnold Wesker; memoirs by Vera
Elyashiv, Emmanuel Litvinoff, Frederic Raphael and Gabriel
Josipovici; and essays by Aharon Appelfeld, Jonathan Freedland and
Sonja Linden.
