Have you read Irish Questions and Jewish Questions by Aidan Beatty and Dan O’Brien? An absorbing read of a collection of essays exploring the parallels of the histories of Jewish and Irish identities. The Irish and the Jews are both peoples whose history is filled with strife and hardship. The book explores how similar struggles were faced by the people of the Emerald Isle and the people of the Torah, and how their cultural identity was shaped by these travails and their answers to them.
