Most people, when thinking about Jews, consider only two categories: the Ashkenazim of European origin, and the Sephardim (often being lumped together with a vaguely-defined group of Middle Eastern "Mizrahi" Jews). Noticeably few of us are even aware of the history of the geographically-dispersed Jewish diaspora, including communities in India, China, and Africa, which reveal a fascinating diversity of Jewish people. This comes as no surprise - there are not many reference works to consider, and consequently not much education for the general public about Jews outside these two main groups. Jews from Elsewhere aims to begin to fill that information void.
