When the Menorah Fades

Discover the profound insights within "When the Menorah Fades" by Zvi Preigerzon, a significant work that sheds light on the resilient Jewish community of Hadiach, Ukraine. Written in secrecy in the Soviet Union, this book remained unknown even to Preigerzon's family for many years. Within its 460 pages, the author weaves a compelling narrative around the history and culture of Jewish life in Hadiach, profoundly linked to the legacy of Shneur Zalman Schneerson, the founder of the Chabad movement. Published by Academic Studies Press in 2020, this hardback edition is not just an academic study but a heartfelt homage to a community's struggles and triumphs. Ideal for scholars and anyone interested in Middle Eastern philology, this book invites readers to explore a pivotal yet often overlooked chapter in Jewish history.
