Shalom Ireland
A social history of Jews in modern Ireland
by Ray Rivlin

Shalom Ireland is a popular account of the social life of Irish Jews from the late nineteenth century to the present day. Most of the story is concentrated in Dublin where almost 90 per cent of the entire Irish Jewish community settled. Until the late nineteenth century, there were only a small number of Jews in Ireland, but then came a great influx from Tsarist Russia.

Ray Rivlin follows the fortunes of Irish Jews from their arrival as immigrants in the 1880s with no english, no money and no means of livelihood, through their establishment as a thriving community, to their slow decline, and on to the present revival.
