- The Pesach 2014 issue of Jewish Affairs is divided into two broad themes. The first looks at the legacy of Jewish Lithuania, providing perspectives by those who were born and grew up there, those descendants of Jewish Lithuanians who have returned to visit and from a renowned rabbi and historian on Lithuanian Jewry's enduring spiritual-intellectual heritage. Part two of this issue deals more broadly with the themes of identity and culture in the Jewish community.
