My Father's Paradise

Discover the captivating tale of a hidden community in "My Father's Paradise" by Ariel S. Levy, published by Workman Publishing in 2009. This compelling narrative unfolds the life of a Kurdish Jewish enclave, a place so remote that its inhabitants have preserved the ancient Aramaic language, spoken by Jesus himself, for nearly three thousand years. With a page count of 345, this book offers an intimate glimpse into a world where Kurdish Jews lived in harmony with their Muslim and Christian neighbors amidst the breathtaking mountains of northern Iraq. "My Father's Paradise" not only tells their unique story but also explores themes of identity, culture, and resilience. Join Levy on this enlightening journey and gain a deeper understanding of a community that has remained largely forgotten throughout history.
