Sinopse
Características

Over three thousand years separate exodus of biblical Jews from the land of Egypt from the last wave of Jewish migrants to exit Russia. Hundreds of thousands of the modern-day Russian Jews find themselves in the United States, Israel, and elsewhere. What made them leave their motherland this time around? What country are they loyal to? And lastly, what is the reason for the Soviet anti-Semitism? The Fifth Record: Understanding the Last Jewish Exodus is about the people in quest of a better destiny and a principle fiber of community with a split identity. Historical and social conditions of the twentieth century have formed the distinct culture of Soviet Jews – an educated, ambitious, secular, and yet conservative people. A combination of personal experience, focused observations, and subjective reflections about people of the last exodus determined the substance of the book. The book depicts the realities surrounded Russian Jews before and after their last wave of exodus. It outlines the ethical and cultural merits left behind in one world and found in another.
