Part memoir, part history,
No One Came to Taos to Be Jewish
is an extraordinary story of personal and communal transformation. The narrative documents a spiritual awakening among a group of people who came to a small, mostly Hispanic town in the Sangre de Cristo mountains of Northern New Mexico to ski, hike, and get away from the banal lifestyle of urban and suburban America. They happened to be of Jewish descent, but discovering their own heritage in their own personal way certainly was not on any of their agendas.
tells the tale of these people and the groups they created over a period of forty years.
