The Travelling Rabbi

My African Tribe

Tracing the journeys of the “Travelling Rabbi,” this book highlights Rabbi Silberhaft’s invaluable work in Africa, from caring for the graves of the forgotten and performing wedding ceremonies to providing kosher food and religious insight to various communities. Including numerous stories—some tragic, others humorous, but always fascinating—this memoir is a celebration of the resilient people he encounters and a permanent record of the Jewish communities and personalities who would otherwise be forgotten.
