The 9-th century A.D. is drawing to a close, and Simien, a Hebrew domain in the heart of Africa, feels the threat of its powerful Christian neighbor, the Kingdom of Aksum. A courageous traveler named Eldad ha-Dani sets out upon a journey to rediscover his long-lost Jewish brethren and save his kin from spiritual isolation. But when his only companion meets a brutal end and Eldad remains alone in the desert, it looks like the people of Simien might never be known to the rest of the Jewish world. This tale of speculative history breathes life into an epoch and man that are scarcely more than a legend. Uniting breathtaking adventure with spiritual yearning, Land of the Lost Tribe is a must read for anyone who has ever marveled at the resilience of the Jewish people.
