"A lovely introduction to Iraqi Jewry and its own exodus."

Sad because she can’t take her gold bangle bracelet, Shoham is entrusted to carry Nana Aziza’s homemade pita bread when her family leaves Iraq. Arriving in Israel, Shoham finds a welcome memento of her homeland. Kelner’s art lovingly depicts the refugee families during the 1951 Operation Ezra & Nehemiah airlifts.
