Journeys of dislocation and return, of discovery and conquest hold a prominent place in the imagination of many cultures. Wherever an individual or community may be located, it would seem, there is always the dream of being elsewhere. This has been especially true throughout the ages for Jews, for whom the promises and perils of travel have influenced both their own sense of self and their identity in the eyes of others. How does travel writing, as a genre, produce representations of the world of others, against which one's own self can be invented or explored? And what happens when Jewish authors in particular—whether by force or of their own free will, whether in reality or in the imagination—travel from one place to another? How has travel figured in the formation of Jewish identity, and what cultural and ideological work is performed by texts that document or figure specifically Jewish travel? Featuring essays on topics that range from Abraham as a traveler in biblical narrative to the guest book entries at contemporary Israeli museum and memorial sites; from the marvels medieval travelers claim to have encountered to eighteenth-century Jewish critiques of Orientalism; from the Wandering Jew of legend to one mid-twentieth-century Yiddish writer's accounts of his travels through Peru, Jews and Journeys explores what it is about travel writing that enables it to become one of the central mechanisms for exploring the realities and fictions of individual and collective identity.

First published in 1930. The wandering Jew is a very real character in the great drama of history. He has travelled as nomad and settler, as fugitive and conqueror, as exile and colonist and as merchant and scholar. Of necessity bilingual and therefore the master of many languages, the Jew was the ideal commercial traveller and interpreter. Based on the volume of 24 Hebrew texts of Jewish travellers by J D Eisenstein, this volume begins with the ninth century. After the sixteenth century geographical discoveries had made the whole world familiar to most people. Consequently, the wandering Jew becomes less the diplomatist or scientist but still remains a link between the scattered members of the Diaspora. The volume ends in the middle of the eighteenth century and taken as a whole provides a survey of Jewish travel during the Middle Ages. For this translation, some of the texts have been abridged, whilst retaining many of the original notes.

"Next year in Jerusalem!"This is how every Passover seder (seh-dehr) ends. Every year, Jews hold this special meal where they retell the story of the Israelites escaping slavery in Egypt, crossing the desert and building their own nation. The exclamation symbolizes the yearning of the Jews to return to their ancient homeland, lost to them nearly two thousand years ago. From the earliest days of aliyah (which describes the process of Jews returning to Israel) through today, the new arrivals have had many different reasons for coming to Israel. The first pioneers were motivated to build a modern Jewish state on their historic land. In many cases, they were fleeing anti-semitism or were expelled from their birth country because of it. In other cases, major national upheavals created a general chaos and instability they wanted to leave. Other immigrants have no need for rescue, but leave their birth countries to fulfill their dream of living a Jewish life in the Jewish homeland. Even for those Jews leaving their birth countries in distress, they have a choice as well. Many of the Russian Jews fleeing Russia in the late 19th century decided to immigrate to the United States instead of Israel. Of the nearly one million Jews who fled their homes in Arab countries, around two-thirds of them chose to come to Israel, while others went to France, Canada or the United States.So every Jew making aliyah has chosen to live in Israel. Each one has their own unique set of circumstances and wishes that brought them to the little country. Here are just a few of their stories.

Jerusalem is not an ordinary city and Crossing Jerusalem is not a standard telling of its story. At once a traditional travelogue, a questioning of spiritual values, and an examination of the beliefs that have sustained Jerusalem’s populations through centuries of conflict and division, this book offers an unusual yet penetrating perspective of the city and its inhabitants.
