Présentation de l'éditeur

Chaim Bermant was The Jewish Chronicle s main opinion columnist for nearly forty years, until his death in 1998. He covered all aspects of Jewish life in his weekly column On the Other Hand , and his witty, wise and thought-provoking chronicling of Jewish life and concerns through the pages of the JC still have profound resonance today. His widow Judy has collected here a selection of his best writings as a tribute to one of the best loved and most important recorders of and commentators on modern Anglo-Jewry. This new edition by Vallentine Mitchell contains a new foreword and article.
