Yosef Mendelevich by Emma

Review by Emma

The book Yosef Mendelevich was a very interesting book that taught me about the Soviet-Russian history. Because it is nonfiction, I learned about Communism and "Operation Wedding," which I did not know about before. Another interesting takeaway is that different people can be Jewish in different ways and have diverse ways of expressing Judaism, and no matter how you want to express it, you are still Jewish. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in history, especially Jewish history.

A really good biography!!

Review by orcaintheocean

I really liked this book. It totally reminded me of the Nathan Sharanksy book. I learned in the book that Nathan and Joseph actually met and that was so cool. I liked that Joseph did not know much about being Jewish but still went to Isarael and learned all about it. It is always a good time to embrace your Jewishness in new ways!!!
