The Jewish People Are Both Middle Eastern and European

The Jewish People Are Both Middle Eastern and European
(An illustration of the Second Temple)

“Given that the Middle East used to be far more ‘Western’ and even ‘European’ than it is now, there is no cultural disconnect between ‘Western’ and ‘Middle Eastern’ Jews. Jews can be both at once.”

Timeless reading in a fleeting world.
