Chaim Bermant was The Jewish Chronicle's main opinion columnist for nearly forty years, until his death in 1998. He covered all aspects of Jewish life in his weekly column 'On the Other Hand', and his witty, wise and thought-provoking chronicling of Jewish life and concerns through the pages of the JC still have profound resonance today. His widow Judy has collected here a selection of his best writings as a tribute to one of the best loved and most important recorders of and commentators on modern Anglo-Jewry. This new edition by Vallentine Mitchell contains a new foreword and article.
