Leather-bound gift book "Jews. Peoples and cultures"

The monograph examines the general issues of the ethnogenesis of the Jewish people and their history in antiquity and the Middle Ages, the peculiarities of anthropological appearance and languages, as well as the problems of studying Jewish folklore and ethnography in different countries. The main attention is paid to the ethnopolitical history and the uniqueness of the traditional culture of Russian Jews - their occupations, costume, rituals of the life cycle, rituals of religious holidays, food, folk knowledge, folklore, decorative and applied arts, education and much more. Special sections highlight the diverse processes taking place among Jews in the modern world, and the relationship of Jews with their surrounding peoples.
