South African Jewish Affairs Journal, Special Issue, Pesach 2014
The Pesach 2014 issue of Jewish Affairs is divided into two broad themes. The first looks at the legacy of Jewish Lithuania, providing perspectives by those who were born and grew up there, those descendants of Jewish Lithuanians who have returned to visit and from a renowned rabbi and historian on Lithuanian Jewry's enduring spiritual-intellectual heritage. Part two of this issue deals more broadly with the themes of identity and culture in the Jewish community.
 
Thanks are due to David Saks of the SA Jewish Board of Deputies and the Editor of the Jewish Affairs journal, for permitting us to include this special issue on the SA-SIG web pages. The SAJBD web page can be found at: http://www.jewishsa.co.za/about-sajbd
