Purchase options and add-ons

The Jews of Khazaria explores the history and culture of Khazaria—a large empire in eastern Europe (located in present-day Ukraine and Russia) in the early Middle Ages noted for its adoption of the Jewish religion. The third edition of this modern classic features new and updated material throughout, including new archaeological findings, new genetic evidence, and new information about the migration of the Khazars.

Though little-known today, Khazaria was one of the largest political formations of its time—an economic and cultural power connected to several important trade routes and known for its religious tolerance. After the royal family converted to Judaism in the ninth century, many nobles and common people did likewise. The Khazars were ruled by a succession of Jewish kings and adopted many hallmarks of Jewish civilization, including study of the Torah and Talmud, Hebrew script, and the observance of Jewish holidays. The third edition of The Jews of Khazaria tells the compelling true story of this kingdom past.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"a compendium of information gathered from every available source... a useful reference work" --James Howard-Johnston, Lecturer, Corpus Christi College, Oxford, in Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies, Winter 2009 (review of 2nd edition)

"a concise and readable digest... current and accessible... extremely valuable for its consolidation of this disparate material." --Eve Krakowski, University of Chicago, in Journal of Near Eastern Studies, October 2011 (review of 2nd edition)

"This is a fine analysis of a unique 'Jewish' community... it is an appropriate addition to any Judaica library." --Randall C. Belinfante and Anne-Marie Belinfante in AJL (Association of Jewish Libraries) Reviews, May/June 2019 (review of 3rd edition)

Review

Far from being [merely] a romantic interlude whose brief existence sparked the imagination of generations, Brook’s volume shows that the Khazar experience is intrinsic to the narrative of Jewish history. ― The Jewish Quarterly Review

Kevin Alan Brook has decided to look behind the various views of the Khazars and produce a non-ideological work that examines the little-known but critical moment in world history. . . . The facts are fascinating. ― Jewish Book World

5.0 out of 5 stars Great. Non biased. Full of reliable historical and Generic sources.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 12, 2018

Great. Finally a non biased book, about the khazars. Who they were, how they came to power, and after thier destruction where they went. When and how the elite converted to Judaism. The book shows that the khazar empire was multi ethnic, economically powerful, a safe retreat for Jews around the known world. Also this book proves the overall consensus that the khazars are not the origin of Ashkenazim.
