520    An engaging and thoroughly researched panorama of the 
       Irish Jewish communityBased on library and archival 
       material, private memoirs, and oral testimony, this book 
       traces Irish-Jewish life from the 1880s when Orthodox 
       Russian Jews, forced to flee Tsarist persecution, began 
       arriving in Ireland without any means of support, little 
       secular education, and no understanding of English. 
       Overcoming poverty and antipathy, they established Jewish 
       enclaves in townships and cities throughout Ireland, 
       educated themselves from peddlers to professionals and 
       entrepreneurs, took an active part in the Irish civil war 
       and other major conflicts, engaged in national politics 
       and sport, and achieved acclaim in literature, art, and 
       music. This insightful and often humorous portrayal of a 
       people underlines the contribution made to Ireland by its 
       Jewish citizens and gives an invaluable understanding of 
       the Jewish way of life to the wider community.
