"Nearly all the Jews in Zambia live in Lusaka. The community is composed of a core of settlers with roots in the country going back to the turn of the century and of a number of Israelis and other foreigners presently working in Zambia. The early Jewish pioneers actively developed the cattle and ranching trade, as well as the country's first iron foundries.
