""The Exiled and the Redeemed" is a book by Itzhak Ben-Zvi, focusing on the history and traditions of Jewish communities dispersed throughout the world. It explores the cultural and religious practices of these communities, some of whom maintained their Jewish identity for centuries in far-flung corners of the globe.
The book delves into the stories of various Jewish communities, including those in Yemen, Persia, and even warrior clans in North Arabia, examining their unique customs and how they preserved their faith despite their isolation. It also discusses historical Jewish kingdoms and their eventual decline. The book aims to demonstrate the enduring nature of Jewish identity and the diverse ways in which it has been expressed throughout history.
Ben-Zvi, who later became the second President of Israel, was himself deeply interested in Jewish history and culture, particularly the experiences of these dispersed communities. He undertook extensive research and fieldwork to document their lives and traditions. The book is considered a significant contribution to the understanding of Jewish diaspora and its resilience."
