From Kabul to Queens: The Jews of Afghanistan and Their Move to the United States brings to life the history of Afghan Jewry—from its earliest roots to the 21st century. Spanning from the community’s origins to the development of their Jewish communal institutions, From Kabul to Queens details the story of a small Jewish community that lived in relative peace with its Sunni Muslim neighbors. This work compellingly bridges the Jews’ experiences in Afghanistan to their successes and struggles in rebuilding a new life in the U.S. and among American Jewish society.
"A well-researched and valuable study of the ancient but now-vanished Jewish community of Afghanistan, a little known community often overlooked by many Western scholars... An important contribution to the recognition of its existence, its history, and its role in the commerce of the famous Silk Road. As archaeologists uncover more evidence of that history, future scholars will find her study of significant value."
