'Sacred Trash' by Adina Hoffman & Peter Cole

Hoffman and Cole team up to write a narrative on what some called 'the 8th wonder of the world' - the lost and found world of the Cairo Geniza.

The book is about discovery, tradition and rescue of holy Jewish literature of 900 years in age from Fustat (Cairo) Egypt.

With a dynamic team of research scholars including, Solomon Schechter, S.D Goiten and many other 'Geniza' experts, the authors narrate a story of immense historical importance, filled with richness, colour, depth and lucidity.

What may be 'trash' to some, is a 'treasure' to others.
